Abstract
The present study aims at investigating the reality of strategic thinking practice at the Faculty of Education, Damietta University from the perspective of the faculty members. It adopted the descriptive approach and utilized a ten-domain questionnaire. The results showed that although the Faculty has an approved strategic plan and a quality assurance unit, the mechanisms of following up the implementation of the strategic plan are inadequate. Moreover, the Faculty’s quality assurance unit has not developed integrated databases of its various activities. The study recommended that the Council of the Faculty of Education should make and follow up the implementation of an updated and approved action plan. Training courses on the specifications and making reports of the educational programs, syllabi, etc. should be offered to the faculty members. Additionally, integrated databases of the various activities of the Faculty’s quality assurance unit should be developed.

Summary
The contemporary strategic features require rethinking of the exercise of leadership in terms of style, thinking, and practice. Universities, as key community organizations, deviate their mission and benefit if they do not meet future needs. They need skillful leaders who can cope with permanent change and reality according to the universities’ goals and roles. Strategic thinking is an important contemporary approach to the management of universities. It motivates creative and innovative ideas and imagination. Adopting strategic thinking helps universities continue to progress, overcome obstacles, and develop appropriate solutions to their problems. It is an environmentally appropriate method to maintain sustainability (El-Balawi, 2016)
