The proposal of theoretical reflection is divided into two parts, the first one, in theoretical data to understand and contextualize the theme. The second, through the critical analysis of case studies of school social climate in Chile, is contracted theory and practice. The reflections obtained refer to the pragmatism and empiricism of the proposal when considering the influence and the possibilities of interventions in the light of the interactionist approach. The conclusions on leadership issues are the characterization of the leader as a person, in addition to that management practices must respond to their context.
