The aim of the present study was to investigate the views of the primary education teachers in the prefecture of Arta on the empowerment they receive from the leader leader and the leadership style that he adopts. The survey was conducted in April 2019 in the primary schools of the prefecture of Arta and involved 174 teachers. Teachers were given a structured questionnaire through goggle forms, which included questions about their work, the leadership of their school unit, and the empowerment they receive from the leader-leader. Also, in terms of empowerment, it included questions about the benefits that arise from it and the difficulties presented. Teachers were selected with convenient sampling and completed an online questionnaire. The results showed that Primary Education teachers in the Prefecture of Arta generally have a positive view of the leadership adopted by their school principal and the empowerment they provide. In particular, it appears that the director-leader they describe has elements that refer more to the transformative and distributed leadership and empower them both psychologically and through rewards, and on the basis of structural-relative empowerment. The advantages for themselves are the feeling of satisfaction and self-efficacy and for school, improving it at all levels. The difficulties that may arise during the empowerment are moderate motivation due to the manager's increased administrative duties, but the general picture given to his leadership is positive.
