Nursing leadership makes people feel inspired and motivated to realize their potentials by thinking critically when managing teams, thus experiencing an association between daily operations on the ground with the overall objectives of education. Objectives: To explore the effectiveness of the performance of the principals and vice principals in nursing institutions. Methods: The qualitative study design was an exploratory and descriptive one. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to select the participants. A face-to-face interview was utilized in collecting the data; a semi-structured interview guide was used. The collected data were analyzed by means of content analysis. The Ethics and Research Board accepted this study. Results: 12 interviews were held, nine of them were women and three were men. Two participants consisted of the vice principals, and the rest were principals. The analysis of data established three broad categories and 12 subcategories. These were role performance during Principalships, role preparedness challenges, and recommendations of participants. Each category was again separated into subcategories. Conclusions: Academic planning, capacity building, quality assurance, and program excellence are controlled by principals and vice-principals. The lack of knowledge and experience of educational management exposes them to challenges in matters related to do with budget, financial management, operation, and resource limitation.
