A multi-dimensional perspective'. The main questions, arising from this problem, which I address are: 1. What are the differences in the leadership styles of both the previous Principal and the present Principal? 2. How do the different styles of leadership in school affect the culture of the school? My aim and purpose in this dissertation are thus to conduct a closer look into the relationship between the school leaders and the associated school culture created. The investigation will be from a multi-dimensional perspective so as to produce triangulation and better understanding. My central thesis in addressing this question is on the assumption that different school leaders represent different styles. These differences in styles are able to create difference school culture, accordingly. The research context of this study is in the domain of the leadership theories and the culture models. The writings of Thomas J. Sergiovanni, Michael Fullan, Edgar H. Schein and others are examined. I start from the premise that school leaders are the important agent to school culture. They are able to produce culture, to shape culture. The method I use to achieve these aims is by a case study of a local ii secondary school. Numerous interviews are conducted to gather information from various individuals from various posts within the school context of two distinctive eras of the school under study. A qualitative research method is chosen for this research study. The results show that school leaders of different leadership styles have influences on the school culture. From these, I conclude that school leaders are able to shape school culture, according to their leadership styles.
