The questionnaire analyzed personal leadership resources used by the principals during the confinement and post-confinement periods, compared to a former ¨normal situation¨. The data analysis results confirmed that the role of the principals was crucial in redirecting the situation and completing the academic course satisfactorily. The principals scored their leadership resources remarkably high in the former normality and maintained proactivity at a similar level during the crisis. However, other resources scored lower during the same period. As a direct result, there was a high degree of adaptation to this situation from the principals.
