Being a principle is more than just some position, which\ud can be given to anyone; it is leadership that needs expertise and special competency,\ud especially in decision-making, by paying attention to human relations.

The data is\ud collected though interview, supported by observation and documentary to be then\ud analyzed by reducing the data (data reduction), display the data, and drawing\ud conclusion from it.\ud The result of the study shows that the leadership style of the principal in\ud SMAN 1 Marabahan and SMAN 1 Anjir Pasar is participatory and democratic.\ud Participatory leadership is applied by the principal in making a decision by engaging\ud the entire school community including the subordinates in sharing ideas, suggestions,\ud and considerations for problem solving. Meanwhile, the democratic leadership is\ud shown by the decision-making process that engages as many subordinates as possible\ud to make a decision together, so that the subordinates have a sense of responsibility in\ud the implementation of the decisions. The principal’s leadership in SMA Global\ud Islamic Boarding School (GIBS) tends to be pseudo democratic which is\ud demonstrated by the the dominance in the behaviors of the leader in decision-making
