Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics of leadership behaviors of two groups of high school principals under varying, contextual situations. One group of twenty-five principals identified as successful and a second group of twenty-two principals randomly chosen comprised the sample. All the participating principals completed Elias Porter's Strength Deployment Inventory.® Also, each principal randomly selected five teachers from their staff who completed a Strength Deployment Inventory: Feedback Edition.® Porter's inventories indicate patterns of behavior under stable and unstable contextual conditions. The two groups of North Carolina high school principals were compared for significant variations by using a multiple analysis of variance.
