The leadership of the school headmasters play a very significant role in creating a conducive climate for elevating school excellence to the highest level. To this end, this concept paper examines the practice of distributive leadership practices, the empowerment of teachers, and the satisfaction of working among schoolchildren to realize such excellence. The school excellence is often expressed in the absence of the headmaster's style of leadership as a school leader. The distributive leadership is a form of collective leadership that empowers subordinates. This concept paper emphasizes the role played by the headmasters in efforts to enhance the teachers’ competence in the areas of strategic thinking, dynamic leadership, systematic work culture and futuristic thinking and to create an atmosphere of schoolwork. The pursuit of such competencies is expected to help school management implement planning and achieve its mission and vision more effectively. In addition, the inputs and discussions of recent studies on these elements and their sequences are also been discussed. It is hoped that the three elements discussed will serve as a guide for the headmasters in mobilizing the whole school to achieve inclusive excellence.
