It was intended to assess the institutional, domestic or personal as well as intra personal problem of women to inter leadership positions in educational institutions. In this regard; secondary schools in Addis Ababa City Administration were selected to be main focus area. The main beneficiaries or the study were secondary school female teachers, principals and deputy principal in Addis Ababa. A significant contribution was intended to be made with the findings to the main participants of policy makers at our levels. To extract their perception on the matter data gathering tools like the questionnaire and interview was considered appropriately. From the 56 secondary Schools in the ten sub-cities, twelve were purposefully selected from among 4 sub-cities .By using purposive sampling each sample element is selected for purpose. About 42% of the participants perceive those in principal ship positions to have both feminine of masculine characters while about 29% of them said that they perceived principals with character with assertiveness, aggression, high self esteem and self confidence or in short with masculine characters. While this is so 69% of them female teachers include this the study never aspired for leadership positions at the beginning of their career. Additionally, choosing from issues involved in recruitment and selection about 41% of the respondents said that it is the attitude of recruiters is the most influential. While, 32% claimed that the criteria for recruitment is not clear and understandable .And 32% said that ‘caring for children’ takes the upper hand for them, as a barrier to enter leadership positions followed by ‘getting married’. From among the personal barriers ‘educational background’ and ‘Childhood background’ of female teachers had taken the lead in influencing factors. Based on the findings it is recommended that policy makers, city Administration officer and immediate supervisors assert gender sensitive issues in the making of policies to hire or promote principals.
