PERSONAL QUALITIES OF AUTHENTIC SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.

Abstract
Even though authenticity goes back to couples of decades, authentic leadership falls
back to just more than a decade. Many scholars write on authentic leadership and
what it constitutes. However, so far no research based clear construct of authentic
leadership is formed. The notion of authentic leadership has not fully come into the
school setting. This paper analysed the personal qualities of authentic schoolprincipals.
For this purpose, seven school principals in Brunei Darussalam were
selected. Episodic interviews were conducted with all the principals. In addition, semistructured
interviews were also carried out with people who work with the principals
(including teachers, colleagues and senior officers) as validation measure. Thematic
analysis was used to analyse personal qualities of authentic school principals. The
findings revealed baseline qualities which mark the entry point of authentic
principalship.
