Abstract :This study aims to scrutinize and conduct a conceptual evaluation of the relationship between knowledge leadership and knowledge management; it was designed as a theoretical literature review and investigates the hypothesis that knowledge leaders undertake important roles in knowledge management processes. Knowledge-based organizational structures require leaders who manage and ensure the effectiveness of knowledge. Knowledge leaders encourage employees to participate in knowledge management processes, contribute to adopting knowledge management as part of organizational culture, and lead knowledge management activities by choosing proper infrastructure and technology. Schools are knowledge-intensive organizations which possess a large number of information areas that must be managed. The main actors who will manage these areas of knowledge are school principals. Therefore, selecting school principals is a process which requires more attention and diligence. In the process of selecting a school principal, whether it be in a written or verbal interview, teachers who possess broad knowledge of their fields and current legislation, who are eager to better themselves and continue reading extensively, and who are qualified in the fields of management science, psychology, and sociology must be considered as candidates.
Keywords : Knowledge management, knowledge leadership, school principal
