This study aimed to explore the leadership talent management
practices of female teachers in government schools in the Sultanate of
Oman, using the qualitative approach of studying multiple cases, and the
interview as a tool applied to four schools of education in Muscat
Governorate. The study sample consisted of four school principals and
their assistants, and twelve teachers who were selected intentionally. The
study reached a set of results, the most prominent of which are: the
diversity of methods for discovering the leadership talents of female
teachers, and delegating tasks was one of the most common practices
followed by school administrations to discover the leadership talents of
female teachers, in addition to school administrations investing in the
strengths that female teachers possess to raise their administrative
efficiency. Moreover, the processes of managing the leadership talents of
female teachers are not included in school planning processes. Finally, the
practices of managing the leadership talents of female teachers were
represented in employing administrative capabilities and administrative
tasks that do not reflect the concept of talent management. The study
recommends several recommendations, the most important of which are
the necessity of spreading the culture of talent management among
administrative and teaching bodies, including the development of
leadership talents in school planning processes, and establishing a
department specialized in managing the leadership talents of teachers in
the General Directorates of Education, concerned with providing training
courses. And qualifying, to qualify teachers to assume leadership
positions.
