Leadership and Management in Education

Being a school leader is a dramaturgical task, as quality and positive school climate are critical to the success of every principal, student and school. Academics agree that entrepreneurship is necessary to society’s development. There is a growing pressure of decentralization for schools over the last years and for that reason the role of school principals is receiving growing interest in academic and practical contexts. Leaders of multicultural schools are operating within a loosely defined, specialty niche of education. Conflicts may occur at schools, but a conflict management style, is an activity and the degree of its effectiveness determines the type of impact of conflict on school performance. The leadership context of these schools is often filled with complex tensions between opposing forces. Cultural diversity is reflected in many schools, therefore it is a need for the school principals the education programs, emphasizing teacher attitudes. The understanding of cultural diversity in education, where that population comes from various countries and speaks many languages, is very important for the school principals because cultural diversity is reflected in the schools.
