The purpose of this study is to clarify what kind of relationships can be found in past research of principal’s leadership. Recently, principals are given great tasks and responsibilities. In this paper, based on previous research, we focused on the principal’s leadership which is currently attracting attention, and examined under what background they are proposed. As a result, the following three points were developed: The first point is that the leadership characteristic of the principal is important over time, which leads to the leadership characteristics of principals who are currently attracting attention; The second point is that in the 1990s, the motivation and empowerment of teachers, with transformative leadership led by the principal, was decentralized leadership and teachers who participated in management since the 2000s, where leaders are dispersed, become autonomous; The third point is that beginning in the 2010s, not only principals and teachers, but also children and students have become more and more important in creating a learning-related community and an innovative learning environment.
