This study examines the impact of leadership training and seminar opportunities on the leadership performance of 83 regular faculty members at Laguna State Polytechnic University, San Pablo City Campus. Using a purposive sampling technique, the study selected faculty members who have participated in leadership training programs to explore how training in human, conceptual, and technological skills influences key aspects of leadership performance, including self-efficacy, duty awareness, leadership responsibility, and leadership strategies. A quantitative research design was employed to analyze the data collected from the respondents. The findings reveal a significant relationship between leadership training and improved leadership performance, suggesting that faculty members who engage in leadership development opportunities demonstrate enhanced leadership abilities. This work highlights the importance of continuous professional development in fostering effective leadership within higher education institutions. This study was adopted in the theories of Katz’s Three Skills. The approach focuses on human, conceptual, and technical skills. Bandura’s self-efficacy theory addresses self-efficacy and influences duty awareness. Transformational Leadership Theory aligns with Leadership Responsibilities and Leadership Strategies, emphasizing the ability of leaders to inspire and manage their roles and responsibilities effectively.
