University of Derby, language: English, abstract: It is evident that
schools require effective leaders and managers if they are to achieve
success and provide a world class education for their learners. As
addressed by The Ministry of Education and Training, Vietnam (MOET,
2012) 'the system of education and finance management is still weak.
There is a shortage of primary education managers and they lack high
qualification...' This study aims to provide empirical evidence by
critically analysing leadership models and styles that are most likely
to achieve the best outcomes and to which leadership can be understood
in an international school context. Senior and Middle leadership members
were interviewed and observed; qualitative data was then triangulated to
ensure validity and reliability. Data suggests that the institution
operates most successfully under a transformational vision built on
values and beliefs, supported by a strong participative and
collaborative leadership style.
