This article reports a study aiming to investigate the affect of leadership behaviour of secondary school leaders on the academic achievement of the 10th grade students from public and private sector schools in Punjab, Pakistan. This study also explored if there was any difference in affect of leadership behaviour of principals as described by them and as described by the observers regarding students' academic achievement.

LPI-Self was served over 64 secondary school leaders / principals and LPI-Observer was served over 128 secondary school teachers who were the observers of the prevailing practices. Students' achievement score was taken from the annual examination results declared by the Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education. Regression Analysis was conducted to find out the effect of leadership behaviour and t statistics was applied to find out any difference between both of the perceptions. Moreover, there was effect of leadership behaviour of principals on students' academic achievement but there was a significant difference between the view point of the leaders and observers regarding this affect.
