Abstract :
This research focuses on identifying the dimensions and components of leadership in schools based on the Blue Ocean Theory and presenting an appropriate model. Utilizing a qualitative research method and data analysis through open, axial, and selective coding, key leadership dimensions including innovation, participation, value creation, transformational leadership, and technology were identified. The research environment consisted of primary schools in a specific region, and participants included school administrators and teachers. The findings from the analysis indicate that the components related to each dimension include creativity, critical thinking, synergy, and the use of digital tools. Additionally, essential characteristics and skills for school leaders, such as strategic thinking, communication skills, and teacher empowerment, were identified through quantitative questionnaires.Facilitating factors and obstacles in organizational culture identified as facilitators, while resistance to change and lack of financial resources were recognized as main obstacles. The results of the correlation analysis demonstrate a positive and significant relationship between the identified leadership dimensions and educational outcomes, with transformational leadership and participation showing the highest correlation with educational results. These findings can serve as a basis for developing leadership models in schools and emphasize the importance of focusing on various leadership dimensions in the process of innovation and educational improvement. Furthermore, it is suggested that educational programs be designed to develop leadership skills with a focus on facilitators and obstacles.
