| Abstract: | Findings of a study on the practice of school management learned through mentoring reveal that leading surfaced prominently
as the prime aspect of what could be learned through formal mentoring and could be put into practice on the job. These principals,
who have the opportunity to learn through mentoring, suggest their learning and practice of leading primarily through relating
with people. The three features involved are: leading through relating with people actively, promoting trust in relating with
people, and serving as worthy models in their dedication to service. As such, the learning of leading through formal mentoring
could be of significance in the professional development of aspiring principals. It highlights a known practice of leading,
learned through leadership mentoring, for an unknown future.
