The study explores how the head teacher brings about considerable improvement in schools by overcoming the contextual challenges facing the school. The study was carried out through the exploratory case study method within the qualitative research design in order to have an in depth and close understanding about leadership practices of the particular head teacher. The head teacher's effectiveness was studied in three schools; the current school where he has been successful in bringing considerable improvement and two other schools where he had worked in the past.
