Abstract

Schools in globalization era are supposed to have self renewal mechanism so that they become organizations that never stops transforming in response to change. For that reason, the principal strategic role of the principal as managers of change becomes increasingly urgent to be the "enabler in chief". The principal must attend school as an initiator of novelty and make it a reality. He must be able to map out the underlying problems in his school, which will only be resolved through some renewal efforts. Therefore, the innovation and mastery of the foundation of decision making becomes a prerequisite for a principal. This article explores the portrait of experience of a number of elementary school principals along with their alternative thinking strategic steps to increase professionalism of the principals. Survey has been conducted on 120 primary school principals in one district in West Java, Indonesia. The purpose of the survey is to determine the trend of the potential for innovation and mastery of the foundation of the decision of the principals of elementary school. The methods were performed through innovative potential tests (Rogers’s theory modification) and weigh the position of decision making updates. The findings of the study indicate that the general trend of innovation potentials seen as feasible for the principal's task is only available in a small number of principals. The tendency of mastery of the foundation of decision-making is generally in the low category.
