This research attempts to record the views of principals and teachers regarding the principals of schools of the Secondary Education Directorate in Athens, Greece. Furthermore, it investigates how they administrate the educational units in order to highlight the features that distinguish the manager from the leader. Additionally, it underlines the need for teachers’ training on issues in leadership and management, to improve efficacy in the educational unit. The research was conducted via anonymous questionnaire in 121 participants. The conclusions strengthened the inclusion of the management functions in the educational process. They also stressed the lack of principals – leaders and demonstrated the inability of schools to appreciate training courses and to innovate.
