Abstract

This paper reviewed conceptions of school-based leadership and the theories of organizational management that underpin the various conceptions, and came out with an operational definition to enhance more understanding of the concept. From the review, it was emerged that there are two main schools of thought of the conception of school-based leadership. These conceptions are; the traditional concept and modern concept. The traditional conception is underpinned by the classical theory of organizational management, while the modern conception is underpinned by the human relation theory of organizational management. This paper recommends heads of schools to seek a broader understanding of the concept school-based leadership that reflects both the traditional and modern conceptions to enable them to have effective leadership for the various schools.
