ABSTRACT: In this review, a number of experts' ideas about creativity and strategies to enhance the creativity of
teachers has been investigated to come a fairly comprehensive conclusion. Managers and their management styles
have a significant impact on the creativity of students and teachers. In the other word, creative people should have
creative leaders. Creativity of a principal is considered as necessity for the creativity of staff and students.
Nowadays, it has been proved that if knowledge is power, so the empowering people in the organization means
sharing knowledge with them. The manager who gives, knowledge, information, and new ideas to his staff and
students, forces their minds/make them to explore and provides the ground for their creativity. Principals'
expectations, beliefs and management styles not only can affect their behavior, but also their students and
teachers’ behavior and creativity as well. Manager who is supportive and tries to support thoughts and actions of
people and prepares ground for them, undoubtedly affects the creativity of students and teachers. Nowadays,
education experts consider creativity as one of the most prominent features of principals and believe that creative
principals can provide the context for the emergence of talent in students and teachers. Creativity is included
among issues about which i.e., its nature and definition, there is not any strong agreement between researchers
and psychologists. Since, everyone has considered creativity from different dimension, variant definitions of
creativity have been offered. While some definitions consider the personality characteristics of creative people, the
others are attentive to process or product of creativity. So, obtaining comprehensive definition of creativity seems
to be difficult. The overall result of the study showed that educational principals should give priority to educational
leadership duties over administrative duties and main responsibility of a school principal is to create an
environment that flourishes teachers’ talents and fosters their creativity, so that they can be creativity trainers to
train the creative trainers.
