As part of a doctoral research study, and with reference to the (con) text of the implementation of the current governance model of Portuguese schools, which introduced the figure of the Director, this article discusses an individual leadership, rooted in the assumptions of indicators of unipersonal managerialists and simultaneously discusses the importance of values, affections and enthusiasm of the actors and authors, in the (re) construction of singular leaderships. The starting point were the results from interviews to directors and questionnaires to teachers from four clusters of schools of a county in the central region, where we presented narratives of leaders and led, some revealing the discursive hybridity around the topic of school leadership, others refer to the importance of leadership, framed in the experience of a school which is hostage to bureaucracy, where the boldness, the courage seem to sustain hope, utopia, the desire to be a more human and humanized school.
