<p>This work is a study of how the principal's educational leadership designs in two different forms of organization. I have chosen to do a comparative study between how two headmasters identify educational leadership, and to what level they feel they can act as educational leaders in their school. The comparison is made between two educational organizations, and two principals’ image, one in Sweden and one in New Zealand. I have chosen interview as method and I have only two respondents on the grounds that is the person's unique perception I want to bring into focus. Since the study is small and the respondents are few I have not been able to draw any general conclusions. But under the circumstances and results of my study I have drawn my own conclusions about what educational leadership means and what impact the organization has for the rector to serve as educational leaders. Succinctly, this can be expressed as follows; Being an educational leader and to exercise educational leadership is about you as president in all your decisions based on what is best for students. And about the organization I have come to the conclusion that it does not make much difference to the principal's ability to function as educational leaders, however, is the organization that sets up guidelines for how the head teacher designs his or her educational leadership.</p>
