Introduction and Purpose 
To function smoothly and efficiently schools need competent management. They need management that can establish and maintain the daily routines that make it possible for the basic purpose of the school to be achieved despite changes in personnel. But schools need far more than this if they are to remain relevant and effective and make a difference in our changing society. Tomorrow's schools even more than schools of yesterday or today will need to be adaptive and be ready for change. They must be prepared to meet the challenges that will constantly loom before them in order to achieve desirable and positive ends. For schools to change they must be provided with expert, dynamic educative leadership. This leadership must go beyond the management routines and inject a sense of excitement, innovation, freshness into an organization. For as Duignan and MacPherson (1992, 3) warn, "far too often, educators become slaves to dull routines...and lose their sense of excitement at being professional educators."
