Abstract
This paper examines the role of transformational leadership in schools
on the basis of leadership as conceptualized and reported in the
educational leadership literature. An attempt has been made to suggest
and understand the implications of such a form of school governance
without overlooking the limitations that are inherent within its
theoretical framework. The practical application of transformational
leadership as it can impact the roles and responsibilities of a school
principal has been discussed. The distinct characteristics of
instructional leadership in relation to school functioning have been
examined and compared to what transformational leadership has to
offer in terms of improved educational outcomes. There is compelling
evidence to support that the transformational model could prove to be
effective in school settings but there are still certain empirical issues
within the leadership model itself that need to be addressed by
educational researchers.
