| description | The aim of the current study is to investigate the practices and effectiveness of leadership wisdom among the
principals of excellent secondary schools as perceived by the Senior Assistants. This research employed survey
approach by using a validated questionnaire. The respondents were 417 Senior Assistants, who were randomly
selected from the principals of excellent secondary schools in Malaysia. The findings showed that the Senior
Assistants’ perceptions of principals’ practices of leadership wisdom were positively at higher level regarding
principals’ application of their knowledge to benefit the staff as well as the whole school. Interestingly, the data
show that the senior assistants’ perceptions of practice effectiveness were also higher. The implication is that all
senior assistants are appropriate for their duties in excellent schools. Also the study findings would inspire the
educational leaders to enhance their practices of leadership wisdom to move forward the institution in the
realization of Vision 2020 as well as Malaysia Education Plan 2013-2025.
