dc.description.abstract	The national average for tenure of a public school superintendent ranges from 3.64 years to 7.25 years. This qualitative case study explored the leadership behaviors that one school superintendent displayed over a 1 0-year tenure with the same school district. The superintendent included in this study was selected through purposeful sampling. Network sampling was then employed to select the four principals that would be interviewed concerning superintendent's leadership practices and behavior. In depth interviews, document analysis, and observations were used to collect data. Findings from the study yielded six major themes: capacity to excel, leader as teacher and learner, leader as mentor, relationship building, facilitative leadership, and values-driven leadership. The themes were analyzed and discussed within the context of establishing the contributing factors to this superintendent's above-average tenure.	en_US
