Abstract
This study was motivated by the premise that no school grows further than the quality of its Headteacher. The purpose of this theoretical article is to examine the Leadership theories for todays Headteachers in Secondary Schools. This article evaluated recent theoretical developments in the study of educational leadership. It begins with the overview of the leadership theories, before settling on a leadership theory that was relevant to Headteacher, A briefly review of various leadership theories was done.Although it appear that elements of these theories are present in one’s leadership style, for Headteachers the focus is on the transformational theory. This article concludes that although much of the current research indicates that the most effective form of leadership reflects transformational or facilitative approaches, most would caution any Headteacher who attempted to focus solely on one leadership style.
