In analyzing the data Mann Whitney-U analysis, Kruskal Wallis-H analysis, variance analysis and Kolmagorov Smirnov analysis was used.Teachers think that the school managers have the innovative leadership skills. They also think that the biggest characteristic of an innovative leadership skill of those managers is their intellectual stimulation.
