Nowadays, the need for effective leadership seems to be a challenge for many of our school
leaders due to lack of enough training that will capacitate them to become such. The urgency of
having a school leader who is transformational and transactional is binding in order for all
schools organization to function commendably, and produce top-notch leadership which shall
steer public school organizational systems to attain and uphold high levels of achievement.
As educational institutions strive to achieve their goals, they are often prompted with challenges
which might hinder the realization of their vision-mission; thus, transformational leadership is
thought to be the best approach to address these challenges and stimulate positive changes in
raising the bar towards higher level of performance and consciousness in order to reach the
mutual goals of the institutions, rather than solely for their self-interest. Thereby, emphasizing
the development of intrinsic motivation among aspiring school leaders to attain their core vision
and transform the organization to its central mission.
The idea of leadership has aroused considerable interest, discussion, and occasionally
confusion. Even today, it is difficult to define leadership, and given the difficulty of the topic,
there is no widespread agreement on how to describe the analytical field. According to Thomas
(2019), the objective of the attempt to define leadership influences the definition of leadership,
which opens up a wide range of alternatives. In addition to being a group process, leadership
can also be viewed as a personality trait, an exercise of influence, a certain type of action or
behavior, a form of persuasion, a relationship of power, a tool for achieving goals, the outcome
of an interaction, a differentiated role, or the creation of a structure.
Bruise (2021) asserted that the absence of leadership increased the likelihood of errors and
decreased prospects for success. These same authors contend that leadership fosters
collaboration, reduces conflicts, fosters innovation, and serves an integrating function by
keeping people connected even when they are not present in the same physical space. In this
way, leadership, along with stimuli and incentives, encourages individuals to work toward
reaching shared objectives, playing a significant part in the processes of forming, transferring,
and along with modifying organizational culture (Smith, 2020).
Moreover, teachers are encouraged to grow personally and to realize their leadership potential
as part of the transformational leadership idea. "The beginning expectation for performance is
related to a starting degree of efficacy in the perceived competence and motivation”. Hence, the
transformational leadership process improves teachers' perceptions of their own efficacy or
confidence as well as their potential for improvement.
