School Principals as Effective Leaders.

Rutherford, William L.

Phi Delta Kappan, v67 n1 p31-34 Sep 1985

A study of elementary and secondary principals revealed that effective principals all demonstrated five essential qualities of leadership--they had clear visions of desirable futures for their schools, translated those visions into specific goals, established supportive environments for improvement, monitored progress, and intervened effectively when necessary.
