In the school context, it is essential that schools are led by competent leaders whose influence is crucial for the accomplishment of the educational institution. The success of a school is dependent on a lot of factors, which among other things include teachers, students, facilities and the learning environment.
Bright students, for instance, undoubtedly contribute to the performance of a school, and so do dedicated teachers and adequate school facilities.
However, studies indicate that the leadership qualities of the principal can exert an enormous influence on the quality and success of a school, the students’ performance as well as the teachers’ capabilities.
