The primary purposes of this study were to examine the dimensions and contents of knowledge leadership and to construct a knowledge leadership model for elementary principals. In the study, a comprehensive review of the knowledge leadership literature was provided, and the Delphi technique and focus groups were employed to verify the appropriateness of the new knowledge leadership model and its practical applicability. First, it was concluded that a knowledge leadership model for elementary principals should include seven dimensions: context analysis, roles and tasks, enablers, action strategies, transformation, effectiveness, and reflection; the model was therefore named “CREATER.” Furthermore, all items in each dimension of the knowledge leadership model must clearly be appropriate, and a valid knowledge leadership model must be comprehensive and innovative. Finally, some suggestions are offered to educational administration agencies and elementary schools.
