Abstract
This chapter focused primarily on how Ugandan headteachers (school-level leaders in Uganda) build cultures of trust with teachers at their schools. In particular, the authors examined how different types of Ugandan headteacher visibility influenced teachers’ perceptions of their interpersonal trustworthiness. The authors hoped that the understanding gleaned from this study will not only help Ugandan headteachers in their trust-building efforts, but also assist school leaders in other geographical contexts.
