This paper deals with the role of the head teacher in the school unit in primary and Secondary Education and examines the views of the head teachers on successful leadership. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the aim is to present the bibliographic references on the administrative and leadership role of school heads in Greece. A detailed reference is made to the concept of leadership, its dimensions and the definitions that have been formulated. In addition, the relationship of leadership with management and education as well as models of educational leadership is emphasized. The second chapter highlights the role of the Director, their views on the forms of leadership, the duties of the director in the institutional and legislative framework, the personality that the director should have and how he can improve the learning achievements of students. In the research part, qualitative research was conducted in the form of semi-structured interviews to 8 managers (6 Men, 2 women). Participants serve in schools in the prefecture of Attica. The participants ' views on the leadership role of the manager, the competences-skills he should have, his administrative and pedagogical duties, the inhibitory factors and the value of the training were investigated. The findings showed that while the Greek school wants the headmaster to be a bureaucrat, the headmasters are more supportive of the value of the leader and his pedagogical role. It turned out that everyone needs to attend training seminars and not stop learning. In addition, successful leadership comes from the role of the director, the cooperation of the members and the choice of a common vision. The inhibiting factors highlighted the burnout, the lack of personnel, materials and buildings. Therefore, in this age of technology, it is necessary for schools to focus on the person, the child and the pedagogical issues that arise. There must be a balance between the administrative and pedagogical role of the principal in order for the school to function effectively and successfully.
