Abstract
This article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of developing school principals’ management skills through a synergetic approach. The study aims to systematize the objective and subjective factors that shape a principal’s professional competence. Systemic, comparative, and content-analysis methods are used to clarify the roles of self-organization, innovation, and collaborative interaction. The findings indicate that aligning institutional conditions with leadership, communication, and reflective capacities supports the sustainable development of educational organizations.
