Hence, this study was conducted to examine the nature of the coaching and mentoring system as a component of developmental relationships and how this effort plays its role in fostering leadership skills in HEIs.

Data was collected using interviews with a focus on the main issues in the leadership talent pool and how developmental relationship practices will accommodate succession planning in Malaysian higher education institutions.
