The main purpose of the study was to investigate the leadership effectiveness of secondary
school principals in the area peoples zone of SNNPR. To this end descriptive survey design
was employed to collect and analyze data. Accordingly sampling was carried out through both
simple random and purposive techniques, thus eight sampled secondary schools were selected
from Konseo, Derashe, Amaro, Burgi, and Aile Woredas in the zone. The subjects of the study
were 8 secondQ/y school principals. six Supervisors and 86 secondary school teachers. Data
was gathered through open ended and clause ended written questionnaires as well as
structured interviews. Data obtained from close ended questionnaire were analyzed using
percentage and mean and those from open ended and the interview were analyzed qualitatively.
The research result indicated that the majority of secondary school principals don't
participate all of their staff -members in the formulation of the vision, mission and goal
statements of their schools, most of the principals did not employ various leadership styles
and approaches of motivation, they didn't use power sharing method, and also they do not
assign the works of their schools based on the maturity level, competence and commitment of
staff- members. Furthermore the majority of principals did not reflect their experiences to
