Abstract:
The educational leader, through his personal characteristics, hierarchical position, leadership style and the influence of external and internal factors related to the organization in which he operates, acts and makes decisions that will influence the change in the school organization. Change in school organizations is a complex process that involves: members of the organization, beneficiaries of education and the community. The leader must adopt a style that capitalizes on: the competencies of the members of the school organization, the development of collective competencies and the proactive involvement in the process of changing the school as a social organization. School organizations need leaders who define a vision, that is, a proactive and positive image of the future. In school organizations, the leader is able to set educational goals, bring together, mobilize and influence the members of the organization so that they orient their behaviors towards the defined vision.
