I. INTRODUCTION

Economic growth in a country is increasingly dependent on the improvement of the educational system. The main idea to start the growth in the educational system is to improve the education institution and the people who lead inside the institutions. In every institution, there must be someone called the leader that runs the management. A leader should role his function, like manage a job delegation, how to work, and the relation between one works to another, and also how to work together with other co-workers. (Ireland & Hitt, 1999)

The ability of the leader in managing and controlling his leadership is a key factor in the success or failure of an organization. This is related to the quality possessed by the leader. Leadership requires an effective form of human relations, meaning that human relationships in leadership are the way a leader treats the person he leads, who will respond in the form of activities that support or not to the achievement of his organizational goals. These activities are not something static, but can change and develop, so that the actualization of the organization becomes dynamic (R. J. J. R. G. P. Veithzal, 2003)
