Therefore, the researcher rejected all the hypotheses. Results revealed a strong presence of transformational leadership qualities among principals. Moreover, principals showcased confidence in addressing dynamic challenges posed by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity in school environments. It is recommended to enhance training programs for principals focusing on developing transformational and resilient leadership skills. The schools division and sub-offices may prioritize resilient leadership development initiatives. This includes providing resources and support for principals to enhance their resilience, empathy, adaptability, and cultural understanding, which are crucial for fostering a positive school environment and addressing VUCA challenges. Moreover, integrating VUCA preparedness components into leadership training and support programs and prioritizing resilient leadership development initiatives are recommended that may empower principals in navigating complex educational landscapes effectively. Lastly, implementing regular feedback mechanisms is advised that may provide principals with valuable insights for continuous improvement and foster a culture of accountability and transparency in school leadership.
