Executive Summary

This study examined the self-reported leadership practices of a group of principals in South Africa. All subjects completed the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), which measured five characteristics of leadership practice; challenging the process, inspiring a shared vision, enabling others to act, modeling the way, and encouraging the heart. ANOVA procedures revealed no differences (.05 level) between two groups of school leaders based on higher education institution attended. Age range was related to "encouraging the heart" and gender to "enabling action."

**********

This is a study to determine leadership preferences of school leaders in Mitchell's Plain, a disadvantaged area of Western Cape province. To better understand school leaders, their responses to the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) were evaluated based on institution of last degree, gender, union membership, race/ethnicity, age range, and whether they were principals or deputy principals (role). The null hypotheses are that there are no significant differences among the leaders based on these factors.
