Abstract :
This qualitative study investigates leadership
characteristics among grade chairpersons at Moises
Salvador Elementary School. Addressing a gap in
research, the study aims to contribute insights for
training and identification of effective leaders. Thematic
analysis of semi-structured interviews reveals a dynamic
blend of transformational and transactional leadership
styles. Transformational traits include nurturing
environments, vision-driven leadership, and empathy.
Transactional characteristics involve teamwork,
fairness, and consistency. The findings emphasize the
diverse leadership styles and recommend tailored
leadership programs, enhanced communication,
strategic visioning, continuous professional development,
structured feedback, recognition, and advocacy
initiatives. Implementing these recommendations aims to
foster a positive sense of place, enhancing the
educational experience for students and teachers.
