The focus of theconsultant was to design a battery of tests to scientifically select the right fit to head a prestigious Central Board School ofGujarat. In the present study, 11 candidates were shortlisted from apoolof 600 candidates. 5 candidates were selected for thefinal assessment. They were put through a two dayselection process that included psychometric assessment – followed by thework sample test and panel interview.

INTRODUCTION  \u003Cbr>In the millennial era where new academic policies are beingimplemented, with complex changes in teaching and learningprocess and shifting student attitudes and personalities, itcalls for an influential individual atthe position of the Leader(Principal). Itis the duty of the head of the school to direct andinfluence the staff as well as the students towards theattainment of specified goals. This initiates a pressing needfor adopting progressive, scientific and contemporarymethods that not only substantiate the validity and reliabilityforthe recruitment results but also ensures the selection of aneffective leader of the educational institute.Approximately one-fourth of a school’s impact on academicachievement can be attributed to the school leader. Accordingto a study by Robert Marzanoetal.(2005)(1), highly effectivePrincipals raise the achievement of a typical student in theirschools by between two and seven months of learning in asingle school year, while ineffective Principals lowerachievement by a similar amount. Principals are vitallyimportant, yet ever rising accountability standards, limitedauthority over key decisions and mediocre pay make the jobmore and more demanding and less and less attractive totalented leaders. At a time, when schools need high qualityleaders more than ever, the gruelling nature of job makes it atough sell and hence Principals come and go. (high attritionand burnout)  \u003Cbr>The selection of Principals has not been a major focus ofpolicy attention by merit, supplanted by centrallyadministered bureaucratic and hierarchical appointmentsystems based on seniority which can lead to allocation ofincompetent educational heads. This suggests that selection   | of an institutional leader based on in-house seniority tends tobe one of the greatest barriers to hiring excellent Principalsthat are high potential candidates. The trend of appointingPrincipals, with succession planning has produced a ‘defacto’Principal selection process. In addition, more formalsuccession planning has itself arisen as an issue because ofthe perceived lack of quality candidates.  \u003Cbr>In this era a more active approach towards recruitment oughtto be practiced to reduce the risk ofpoor hiring. Appropriateselection matters because poor recruitment costs time,","cbCaiogNFU2SbZrC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiogNFU2SbZrC","pdf",780863,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Article History\n# I.
