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. date: 2015 date_type: published publication: PROCEEDINGS 3rd REGIONAL CONFERENCE ON EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT publisher: Institut Aminuddin Baki pagerange: 18-36 refereed: TRUE official_url: http://www.iab.edu.my citation: Ahmed Adeel, Naseer and Abdul Aziz, Nor and Ueyama, Takeyuki (2015) PERSONAL QUALITIES OF AUTHENTIC SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.
