As a result of the United States' international ranking on student performance in math and reading there has been growing concern over how to improve American student achievement. One school of thought focuses on school leadership and its influence on increasing student achievement. The notion that school leadership can influence student performance is supported in the literature, however, creative tension, its application to school-site leadership, and its potential for aiding principals, vice principals, and deans in arriving at the best decision for students still needs to be explored. This qualitative study utilized interviews and observations to answer four research questions related to K-12 administrators including principals, vice principals, and deans and the ways in which they foster and utilize creative tension. Data was collected via ten interviews with principals, vice principals, and deans at three different school sites. A common goal was found that trust, and clearly defined roles foster creative tension among principals, vice principals, and deans. Furthermore this study found that distributed leadership, situational leadership, and transformational leadership are leadership styles more conducive to fostering creative tension. The role of the principal include being initially responsible for creating an environment where creative tension can be utilized, being vulnerable, and building consensus amongst the administration team. The role of vice principals and deans include accepting and providing feedback, along with garnering trust from the principal through previous success.
