Abstract

The main purpose of this paper was to introduce Bolman and Deal's (1997) multi-frame of leadership into the context and practice of principals' leadership and educational change. This paper begins with recognizing the principal's difficult role as the school leader and change agent; then by acknowledging the urgent need for principals to have the skill to switch their leadership styles flexibly and contextually, multiple leadership is heavily suggested to be a solid and appropriate diagnosis with positive strategies to help principals cope with a variety of dilemma as well as facilitate the change more effectively. Accordingly, the application of reframing theory to the principal's leadership and change effort in educational settings is in particular proposed. This paper concludes by discussing its implications, theoretically and practically, for educational leadership and change.
