AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE LEADERSHIP STYLES OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS

Abstract

The current research problem is titled "An analytical study on the leadership styles of School Principals at Agra District." The key educational policy trends noticed globally place the school at centre of reforms. Growing decentralization & autonomy lay primary burden for reform implementation on head teachers and their abilities to bring all staff and students together to work toward common goals. Leadership is a multifaceted phenomenon. Management delegated a broad function, which included duties for schools, students, instructors, and other educational components. This research aims to highlight the essential role that principals may play in supporting school administration in dealing with some of the difficulties that schools face today. A small sample (N=297) was utilised in this study to assess the leadership style of principals of upper primary schools from the standpoint of educational leadership. This suggested to the researcher that all principals confront comparable obstacles as leaders and must learn the required leadership qualities to deal well in a leadership role. This study supports the idea that improving leadership abilities may have a good influence on the role that principals play in schools now, and can help them become self-actualizing leaders of the future.
