%X Based on a long-standing centralized appointment process for principalship,  Yogyakarta’s secondary school principals have typically taken an authoritarian  approach to leadership, and this stance has persisted even amid  Indonesia’s recent political modernization. To examine the recent emergence  of an allocative approach, this case study documented the communication  style, collegiality, and dispersed tasks by leadership of an SMA “Bintang” High  School principal. We interviewed nine key school actors: namely, the principal,  two vice principals, three teachers, two staff members, and the student  union head. Eight themes benefit the overall school community amid collaborative  communication and allocative task management used by the principal.  His approach toward co-decision-making, dispersion of authority, and  embracing of shared tasks is considered by staff to have enhanced academic  achievement, school management, and student-based activities, and is more  allocative yet inseparable from the bureaucracy. Such leadership represents  a positive transition to implementation of more dispersed and communicative  leadership
