What is The Role of Prototypicality in Educational Leadership about?

Educational leadership studies often portray schools as homogeneous professional communities that automatically and willingly endorse the leadership of school principals. For this reason, leadership preparation programs usually include a static set of administrative, technical, and financial skills necessary to operate schools and prompt followers (in-school stakeholders) to engage in actions toward predetermined goals. However, schools are not usually homogeneous communities, but rather they involve informal social groups who potentially have different expectations about the traits and behaviors of school principals. This also suggests that there can be different evaluations about the leadership of the same school principal. In other words, competencies acquired in leadership preparation programs can transform school principals into leaders only in the eyes of social groups whose expectations are met through those competencies. At this point, it should be noted that formal authority does not always bring about leadership and that school principals must get the endorsement of followers to attain leadership status. To be T.
