M.Ed. (Educational Management) / Any organisation, be it political, religious, commercial or educational has to strive towards the accomplishment of certain aims and objectives. Certain organisations realise their aims and objectives while others tend to be unsuccessful. In response to the fact that some schools are not able to achieve goals, Lane & Walberg (J 987:37) completed a research study comparing more effective schools to less effective ones. The community expects the school to achieve the aims it has been established for. Schools often fail to achieve their primary goals. Successful goal achievement depends to a large extent on the strategies and leadership styles of the managers in schools. This managerial position belongs to the headmaster. The interpersonal relationships between the headmaster and his staff is largely dependent on the management style used. This in tum influences the effective management which could in tum have a negative impact on the quality of teaching in a school. It would appear that the educational system of the Republic of South Africa is about to undergo drastic changes. The Various components of the education system are interwoven and hence changing one aspect must necessarily have an impact on all the other components. Amidst all these changes headmasters must still attempt to manage their schools and the various educational programmes in an effective .way. These changes are also likely to add to the already complicated management and leadership role which the headmaster has (Naidoo, 1991:1).
