Summary/Abstract: This study explores the management paradox and its impact on school principals, highlighting the challenges they face in balancing conflicting demands such as autonomy vs. centralization, control vs. flexibility, and innovation vs. stability. The research identifies key paradoxes within the education system and examines how school leaders navigate these contradictions while striving to maintain effective leadership. Using a qualitative research approach, the study investigates different leadership strategies, organizational structures, and external pressures influencing school management. The findings suggest that understanding paradoxes as inherent organizational dynamics rather than obstacles can empower principals to develop adaptive strategies, fostering both innovation and institutional stability.
