Leadership, Principal, Role ModelAbstract
This study examines the role of school principals as role models in building the character and achievement of teachers and students in madrasas. School principals have a significant responsibility in managing school administration efficiently and being a strong role model for the entire school community. Principals can create an inclusive and supportive learning environment through effective leadership development and open communication. A principal who is a role model can inspire teachers and students, motivate them to achieve higher performance and cultivate strong character. This study uses a literature review to collect data from relevant scientific sources. The study results show that the Principal's role as a role model is very important in shaping a positive and productive school culture and in helping to create a successful and character-rich young generation. These findings are expected to contribute to the academic literature in the field of leadership and become the basis for further research and development of leadership practices in madrasas
