Exploring Credible Leadership in International Schools in Jeddah
This study explored credible leadership in international schools in Jeddah particularly connections between leadership practice and the individual leadership practice. The study questions were: To what degree international schools’ leaders in Jeddah perceive their skills in practicing the six principles of Kouzes and Posner? and does authentic leadership in international schools’ leaders differ based on the leader's culture and religion? Data was gathered through interviews using semi-structured questions and analyzed qualitatively against Kouzes and Posner's Five Practices of Leadership, a teachable and measurable framework. The study's findings illustrated differences in some themes in practicing leadership, such as serving a purpose and sustaining hope. The study limitation was on the limited sample size and the study recommends the need to consider the existing cultural and religious background in the study of leadership practices.
