Leadership skills in the 21st century for school administrators face new challenges arising from social, technological, and economic changes. Applying the Four Saṅgahavatthu (principles of benevolence)—which include Dāna (generosity), Piyavācā (kind speech), Atthacariyā (beneficial conduct), and Samānattatā (equanimity)—in school management can help administrators build strong relationships and create an environment that fosters effective collaboration. These principles also enhance key 21st-century skills, such as leadership, management flexibility, and creative problem-solving. Managing schools according to the Four Saṅgahavatthu provides a powerful framework for developing administrators who are well-equipped to handle the ongoing changes of today’s world.

In the era of Society 5.0, where technology and innovation are integrated into all aspects of life, educational administrators must demonstrate leadership that can effectively adapt and drive educational organizations. The leadership of academic administrators in this era should focus on integrating the four virtues of Brahmavihāra; 1) Mettā (Loving-kindness), 2) Karuṇā (Compassion), 3) Muditā (Sympathetic joy), and 4) Upekkhā (Equanimity). These virtues foster a human-centered approach to management and promote sustainable educational development. This study aimed to explore the application of Brahmavihāra principle in academic leadership within the context of Society 5.0, and how these principles can enhance academic development and cultivate a sustainable learning community in schools.

Academic management in educational institutions during the VUCA World requires adaptation and development to respond to rapid and uncertain changes. Specifically, applying the principles of Sikkhā 3 (the Threefold Training)—Sīla (Morality), Samādhi (Concentration), and Paññā (Wisdom)—can strengthen and enhance the resilience of educational institutions effectively, utilizing the principle of Morality in academic management fosters a culture of ethical conduct and builds trust within the organization, promoting Concentration enables personnel to focus on critical tasks, while developing Wisdom allows administrators to analyze and make reasoned decisions in complex situations. Therefore, integrating the principle of Sikkhā 3 (the Threefold Training) into academic management is a crucial tool for achieving success in educational institutions in this transformative era.
