We all want to be successful, success in any field of endeavor is the result of good leadership and this is especially true in leadership of our principal. Principal leadership calls for high ethical and moral standard. This is so because our principal is accountable first and foremost to our government especially to our Department of Education Secretary who has appoints them. They represent their subordinate, their school as principal. Their main responsibility is to lead people to their duties and responsibilities and of course to maintain the quality of education in all school.

Principal are men and women who understand the issues of their time. Their hearts are turned in the values of positive attitude toward work. Their minds are sensitive to the challenges and needs of the society in which they work and live. They know what to do and not to do. They are men and women of purpose. They are all the kind of leaders that subordinate follow.

There are very few leaders who are gifted with administration or managerial and leadership abilities at the same time. There are those who are excellent leaders but very poor administrators. And them who are great managers but later failures in leading. The principals are both a leader and manager. For me “Everything rises and falls on leadership.”

Human history is a record of mass accomplishment under leadership. In other words, good things happen if have good leader. Think of the last juried scandal you heard. Chances are some leader got caught in much unleaded activity. The consequences are suffered by the subordinate long after the scandal has died.

There is the crisis in the quality and quantity of leaders. There are simply not enough of them the world wisest man warned “where there is no vision the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). In other word when there is no supervision there is people perish without adequate leadership.
