Abstract [eng] The paper deals with the relation between manifestation of leadership in comprehensive schools and effective school management. For the purpose scientific literature and documents on leadership in educational organisations and effective management were studied as well as the manifestation of leadership among school managers; Attributes of an effective organisation were identified and an impact of leadership on effective school management was studied. The sample of the study was formed from teachers, assistant managers and managers of comprehensive schools and gymnasiums of Šiauliai town (N = 214). Analysis of the study revealed that effective school management is inseparable from the characteristics of the school manager as of a resonant, employee- oriented and transformational leader: 1) there is a strong statistically meaningful relation between resonant leadership and an innovative, goal- seeking collegial school; 2) a medium statistically meaningful relation was noticed between resonant leaders and an open school; between the employee- oriented leader and am innovative, open, goal- oriented, collegial school; between the characteristics of the transformational leader and an open, goal- oriented, collegial school.
