Abstract
Realization of the aims of the school requires, inter alia,
meaningful and purposeful co-operation between the members
of the top management of the school. Purposeful co-operation
between these members implies the establishment of relationships
that will realize and facilitate mutual consultation,
sharing of responsibilities and effective management.
The establishment of open, supportive and purposeful interpersonal
relationships in the top management of the school is
based on the assumption that the principal will fully develop
the available human resources, as embodied in the deputyprincipal
and heads of departments. Effective development and
utilization of human resources is dependent on the existance
of relationships within the management team that will result
in effective realization of aims.
The principal plays a vital role in the establishment of interpersonal
relationships in the top management of the school.
As leader of the school, he is responsible for initiating
good relationships.
One of the major aims of establishing good relations in top
management is the improvement of the effectiveness of the
management team. The resultant improved quality of the leadership
will also contribute towards more effective realization
of educational and teaching aims...
