The improvement of school unit efficiency is pursued today by those who are involved in the design of educational policy at national and transnational level. Pressure towards this direction is even more imperative today because of technological developments, competitiveness, and worldwide challenges (Middlewood et al., 2018). Bush et al. (2019) argue that learning, immediately after teaching quality, is associated at a secondary but still important level with school leadership and sociocultural context in which it is shaped. Within the context of the above, this study aims to showcase the view of primary education teachers of South Aegean about the leadership behaviors of the leaders of the school units at which they are employed. The particularity of this study lies in the approach of the subject since the above-mentioned objective is studied at two levels: a) At “implementation” level and b) At “desirable” level. The main research finding is the existence of a statistically significant differentiation of leadership behavior between the implementation and the desirable level.
