    Abstract: In response to prevailing socio-economic, and cultural conditions, identifying effective school leadership has become a critical issue. This research highlights the positive impact of transformational leadership on school improvement and effectiveness, emphasising its role in managing internal and external changes, aiming at examining teachers perceptions on transformational leadership through a quantitative survey using Ken Leithwoods questionnaire, involving 201 teachers from 15 secondary schools in Attica. The results analysis indicated that the sampled teachers view transformational leadership as highly important for school principals. However, many transformational characteristics are only partially recognised by their current directors. Consequently, there is significant potential for enhancing the transformational leadership practices of school directors to improve the overall school effectiveness. The primary question investigates how significant these characteristics are considered for the role of school principals and how many of these transformational traits are recognised in their current school environment.
