In the qualitative phase, the investigated community consists of selected experts in the field of education who have gained valuable experiences in the field of transformational leadership of schools. The sampling method of the qualitative stage was theoretical saturation and 30 samples were selected. Through interviews with experts in the field of education, Data by content analysis method with coding (51 open codes as sub-indices and 9 selected codes as main indicators) were extracted. The reliability of the interviews was confirmed by a retest method with a score above 0.7%. A paired comparison questionnaire was prepared and completed by managers and related teachers. In the quantitative phase, the validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and its reliability was obtained by Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.74, which indicates its reliability. Expert Choice software was used to analyze the questionnaire data. The study showed that among the first level indicators, the indicators of facilitation in planning and education, strategy-oriented and self-management are the most preferred with weighted values of 0.582, 0.485 and 0.399 respectively are more important. Also, among the influencing sub-indices, sub-indices of flexibility of training programs (0.217), skills and abilities of managers (0.175), creating a link between resource strategies human and the school strategies (0.152), curriculum planning (0.141), process orientation (0.128), use of educational technologies (0.118), development of technology-based educational facilities (0.102) ), continuous follow-up of school problems and challenges (0.082) and formulation of short-term and long-term plans for the organization (0.067) respectively have the highest weight values and are more important. To create transformational management in their organization, secondary schools should focus on the flexibility of educational programs, skills and capabilities of managers, the link between human resource strategies and school strategies, curriculum planning, process orientation and the use of technologies.
