Reflections on Principal Leadership Styles: An elementary school principal’s autoethnography Abstract In this study, the researcher employed autoethnography as a research method to reflect on his experience of transforming San-Zhuo Elementary School into an outstanding school through developing a school-based curriculum. The study aims to (a) explore the researcher’s leadership style as a principal through his writing of autoethnography, (b) describe the main factors that attributed to the researcher’s leadership style in light of his experience as a school principal, and (c) discover the drives for the researcher’s profession nal development in pursuing principal leadership. The study details the researcher’s self-reflections on his leadership as the principal of San-Zhuo Elementary School. It reveals that a successful principal would integrate educational theory and practice in developing leadership. The researcher defined his principal leadership style as ‘Shu, Jian, Jiang-Shan’ (Book, Sword, River-Mountain). The facto rs that attributed to his leadership style are as follows: (1) having a personal, gentle but firm attitude, (2) focusing on the essence of education, (3) promoting life-long learning and self-empowerment, (4) accumulating leadership experiences and sharing with others, (5) integrating experiences into leadership with an international vision, (6) applying educational theories to practice, and (8) being encouraged through external reward and self-affirmation. Additionally, the study finds that the drives bringing about the researcher’s professional development as a principal include: (i) to make progress and improvement, (ii) to meet multi-dimensional needs and solve problems, (iii) to share leadership experiences with others, and (iv) to put theory into practice. In view of the findings, the researcher makes suggestions. First, before deciding on pursuing a career as a school principal, one should contemplate the decision. When the decision is made, one needs to develop abilities required for principalship. Second, educational authorities need to provide support necessary for principals.
