Abstract
It is the purpose of this study to go into the leadership styles of elementary school principals as seen by themselves and by their teachers. It is hoped that leaders and their subordinates jointly discover ways by which they can manage their behavior to produce mutually reinforcing output or to become more effective and efficient as expected of them by our educational system.
Being an elementary school principal in the public school system, the researcher is also interested in this particular study for self-development and growth. She hopes to contribute to the education of the Filipino youth. The characteristics of the various styles of leadership can serve as framework of reference for the actual applications in the field.
The investigator had adopted Ruiz model for the classification of leadership styles or leader behaviors which stemmed from the task-oriented (Concern for Production) and person-oriented (Concern for People) concept as developed by Blake and Mouton.
