摘要：The paper will locate the discussion in the broader context of change, sustainability, leadership theories, and leadership styles and shed light on the multiple and complex roles that the head teacher has to play to steer the staff to improve school standards and make it into an ever evolving learning organization. It will focus specially on and analyze the impact made on middle management staff due to the change and the perception of change in implementing and sustaining it as seen by them. A case study approach was used for this research and data were collected through individual and focus group interviews with the head teacher and management staff of a school which is managed by an NGO and is located in a fairly disadvantaged low income area of the city. Findings show that the head teacher depicted transformational leadership style to a great extent to implement structural change in spite of resistance and apprehension by the management staff.
