Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to analyze superintendents’ perceptions of their work performance. Here leadership is understood as a relational phenomenon in the intersection between loyalty, solidarity, faithfulness and authenticity. The findings indicate that superintendents know they do a good job when 1) they receive feedback from other stakeholders; 2) the education board is kept calm and safe; 3) they see positive developments in their schools; 4) they feel an inner confirmation; and above all, 5) the results improve. In summary the role of a superintendent resembles a spider holding a organizational web together.
