This report is about the principle and his / her role at the school it’s also about how the principle understands the role, its expectations and the demands connected. The facts are based on deep detailed interviews with three different principles. The theoretical approach is coming from “hermeneutiken” and “Gadamers” ideas regarding how an individual is creating the world and the surroundings to act within. The ambition was to evaluate the three different principles opinions and feelings in the light of the above approach plus describe possible areas of difficulties because of too different demands and expectations. The interviews indicate both similarities and totally different opinions. It will be very interesting to connect basic business management and impacts from both the formal and also the informal organisation to the interview results and findings.
