Leadership is more than just a science. It is an art as well. The art of leadership varies from leader to leader. Some leaders take a cold and analytical approach to things while others are aggressively emotional. Different situations call for different kinds of leadership styles. In the educational institutions, the Principal, the leader, plays an important role. The Principal is responsible for exercising the expertise in the time management and leadership of school affairs. The job satisfaction of teachers is as important as the organizational climate. The book presents a comparative study of leadership styles of Principles in relation to job satisfaction of teachers and organizational climate in the Government and Private Senior Secondary Schools of Delhi. It has been observed that the leadership style of Principles, job satisfaction of teachers and organizational climate differ from school to school. The book deals with various factors that influence the relationship of these three variables. This contains the food for thought for the school principal of both government and private schools as to which style of leadership they should apply in their institutions.
