INCREASING PRINCIPAL EFFECTIVENESS
Effective schools are run by effective principals.
There is an educational, social, and financial benefit in increasing the effectiveness of principals.
Principal effectiveness is an international issue.

SOME ASSUMPTIONS
There are qualitative differences that distinguish highly effective principals from competent principals.
Highly effective principals possess identifiable capacities that “make a difference”.
The differences can be isolated and described.

ISSUES
Current educational vocabulary is a limiting factor.
“It is hard to think of things except in the way we have always thought of them” (Handy, 1990)

ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
Leadership can be described by the styles of behaviour of people in leadership positions.
Leadership involves varying degrees of directive and non-directive behaviour, depending upon a given context.
Leadership involves people in organisations rather than merely organisations

MORE ASSUMPTIONS!
Choice of leadership styles and behaviours is governed by their contextual effectiveness.
There is no single, universal “best practice” that will be highly effective in all contexts.
The ultimate beneficiary of effective leadership in schools is student learning.

SOURCES OF PRESSURE FOR PRINCIPALS
Children’s learning Personal perceptions of effectiveness Maintaining personal credibility in the
eyes of colleagues Development of the school as a viable
organisation

SOURCES OF PRESSURE FOR PRINCIPALS
Accountability to parents and the community for the performance of the school, primarily in terms of students learning
Accountability to a legislated governing authority

FINAL WORD
“So the urgent drives out the important; and the future goes largely unexplored; and the capacity to act rather than the capacity to think and imagine becomes the sole measure for leadership.”Hamel and Prahalad (1994)
