Ensuring that supervision is sound and effective is one of the key tools for reducing or preventing organizational show. Another factor that could be effective in reducing organizational show may be through school principals who take on leadership roles rather than managerial ones. School leaders should create a compelling vision and ensure that the school's vision is aligned with that of the teachers. In addition, teachers should be involved in decision-making processes regarding tasks and procedures that exceed their roles. A good school leader should foster a culture of harmony within the school and periodically inform employees of organizational goals.
