Abstract

The improvement of kindergarten teachers' performance is an urgent necessity in contemporary times, which profoundly benefits every family and plays a pivotal role in the holistic development of young children. Whether in theory or practice, the leadership of the director constitutes one of the fundamental elements that significantly influences teacher performance. To effectively harness the impact of the Kindergarten Directors’ leadership on teacher performance, several measures need to be implemented: fostering a shared value consensus, leading by exemplary behavior, cultivating a relationship built on trust, establishing an equitable system for rewards and consequences, and instituting a feedback mechanism.
