Abstract
This quantitative study examines the relationship between the leadership personality of a principal and the perception of that principal as an instructional leader. More specifically it seeks to determine if a principal's dominant personality characteristic, as defined by a four quadrant analysis, relates to the faculty's perception of that principal's instructional leadership. That perception is also examined in light of principal experience and grade level of the school. The results of this study indicate that a principal's predominant personality characteristic does not impact that individual's perception as an instructional leader by the faculty. A weak to moderate relationship between the faculty's perception of a principal's instructional leadership, years of principal experience, and the grade level of the school was indicated.
