Learning to be effective CEOs: the principals' executive program

The Principals' Executive Program (PEP) of the North Carolina University is designed to train principals for leadership roles and takes its cue from the Harvard leadership training program. Principals need to have management skills, computer skills, and knowledge about federal laws regarding education. Apart from these, principals should have an understanding of self and others. The PEP has a faculty of 10 members and a support staff of nine. More than 2000 school administrators have graduated from PEP in its first 12 years.
