Digital Era of Shared Leadership: Evidence of Waqf Ecosystem Activities at Universitas Islam Bunga Bangsa Cirebon

Digitalization is significantly impacting leadership practices within educational environments, particularly within waqf activities at Bunga Bangsa Islamic University Cirebon. The waqf ecosystem effectively implements shared leadership principles by distributing responsibilities, which positively impacts both student engagement and community involvement. This paper examines the application of shared leadership in delegating literacy and education tasks on a small scale within the university's Community Service Lecture (KPM) program. Here, the KPM head empowers team members to become student waqf renewal agents by implementing professional/service-based waqf initiatives. We utilized a qualitative research methodology, collecting data through interviews and observations. Our research findings indicate that distributed leadership within the educational environment, especially on campus, can foster collaboration among universities, students, and the community. Furthermore, we found that shared leadership fosters a more inclusive and sustainable waqf ecosystem. We anticipate that this research will directly contribute to the development of a shared leadership model that effectively integrates technology into waqf management within educational institutions.
