abstract = "The study aims to highlight the leaders’ auto-perception on their leadership style, through a semi-structured interview. We analyze data collected during a series of eleven face-to-face and telephonic interviews, conducted in Dambovita County, Romania, with educational leaders from pre-university institutions. The interview guide was designed to include five variables (motivation, leadership, team relations, success and challenges) and twenty questions. The research objective was to emphasize the transformational leadership practices, within the wider context of the leaders’ past and present-day motivations, of their vision on the best leadership actions, of their ability to relate with the team members and their perceptions of success. The leaders also provided descriptions of their challenges and of the way they tackle difficult situations. A formal mentoring system for the educational leaders emerged as a solution that could allow leaders to improve their work. The findings of the research may be used to design training programs for educational leaders, tailored on their strengths, weaknesses and their perception on the leaders’ role within the education system.",
