They are complaining about higher schools and vocational schools, as well. If you need to reach good results you have to renew your resources. However, you have to have enought money for this. And that is the task for the head master of the school. We describe the leadership culture of vocational schools in the constantly changing surroundings in this work. When independence of Lithuania has been rebilted the head master's job charcter changed and we got needs for the new researches. It is hard to adapt the general management theory to some school in reality. That is why it is the research on leadership culture at the vocational schools still. The head master's point of view about leaderschip culture is compared with the point of view of his staff in this research. Aim of this research – to analyse theoretical basis of leadership culture; to find out the available situation about leadership culture at the vocational schools; to present recomendations about the organizations' activities improvement. Research hypotheses: 1. The older head masters make the negative influence to leadership culture; 2. The democratic style of head master's leadership does not make any negative influence to leadership culture of vacatinal schools; 3. The vocational schools' head masters devote a little money for their profesional competences' improvement; 4. The vocational schools' financial resources are formed by the means of the budget of the Republic of Lithuania. And that is the reason why the vocational schools are short in them to renew the material and technical base. Research methods – scientific and publicist literature sources analysis, statistical data analysis, sociological quantitative research – questionnaire survey, logical abstraction method, graphic representation method and other methods. Research main inferences. The leadership culture is under the influence of the school culture. Vocational schools are contervative education organizations because they have the same leaders for a long time. If only the leaders have been changed as politicians every 5 or 10 years, the vocational school's culture 78 would renew quite often. The leader of vocational school should not be appointed by higher institution but elected by local community. The first research hypothesis was not confirmed. Most of the respondents support the process of the changes and they are on good terms with their staff. Most of the staff's respondents pointed out that the lader should bee 46-60 years old. Therefore, the staff trusts in that leader which has much more experience. The second research hypothesis was confirmed. Most of the respondents pointed that the vocational school's leader has democratic leadership style and accentuated just positive moments of the leadership culture in the research. The third research hypothesis was confirmed. It has been found out that three quarters of the leaders' qualification are improved on the free seminars. The biggest part of qualification improvement which is payed by personal leaders' resources makes just one quarter. The fourth research hypothesis was confirmed. The vocational schools are short in financial resources to renew the material and technical base. However, they are looking for other opportunities how to get more money. It is EU SF resources, 2 per cent support resources and social partners' recources. The vocational schools should have close collaboration with the business (enterpreneurs) organizations to get know enterpreneurs' requirements to competence for young specialists. Also they should have close collaboration with higher schools, as well, fo the purpose to prepare young specialists according between fixed programs. If we have good prepared specialists, we could speed up the growth our country's economic structure and bee happy with higher quality of our living.

An assessment is made of the effectiveness of a survey feedback intervention in engendering a capacity for change within a sample of 10 Canadian teacher training institutions (TTIs). This article establishes a conceptual framework for the intervention, presents data on the process of program change, and considers the positive and negative effects resulting from the intervention. Unanticipated outcomes are described, and suggestions are made concerning future research. The results suggest that a survey feedback intervention can be moderately effective in engendering a capacity for change in TTIs, but success can only be anticipated if the model of intervention is diligently imple mented (especially thefollow through phase), is used selectively, and is sustained over time.
