A total of one hundred and twenty teachers  and twenty head teachers  participated in the study.Head teachers were sampled purposively  in each school while teachers were sampled randomly from each department.

A pilot study was done in two schools in a neighboring Kapsabet Division to establish reliability of research instruments whereby test -retest method was used. A correlation coefficient of 0.71 was obtained. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics  involving means, standard deviation,percentages and frequencies.Findings revealed that headteachers did not clearly involve teachers in the formulation of the school mission and neither were they involved n curriculum supervision. Furthermore they were not visibly present in every part of the school compound.The study recommends that the Government should  provide funds to train headteachers and also provide sufficient resources.Head teachers should clearly explain the school mission and involve teachers in the formulation of the mission.They also have to be in school most of the time.It is expected that the findings of the study will be useful to policy makers and other stakeholders including head teachers and teachers on how to improve leadership.
