Riassunto

Principals need to empower teachers and enable them to share decision-making if education practices are to be restructured and reformed. This volume is based on a study of the empowering characteristics required by principals to improve, for example, teacher motivation, self-esteem and autonomy. The authors describe the behaviour, attitudes and strategies employed by the principals.
