1.     Introduction

The rapid development of the world of education today requires thought and effort to keep pace with changes in education so as not to be left behind by increasingly advanced changes (Salsabila, Ariyanto, Aziz, & Ma'arif, 2022) . Improving the quality of education is now a necessity that cannot be postponed any longer. The success of a nation's development is determined by the availability of quality human resources, especially quality education (Prastowo, 2018) .

Article 1 of the 2003 National Education System Law of the Republic of Indonesia states that: Education is a conscious and planned effort to help students actively develop their competencies so that they have religious spiritual abilities. strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character and skills needed in society, nation and state.

Education cannot be separated from the role of the principal as a leader, namely as the principal. A school principal is a person who leads a formal educational institution, has great responsibility and acts as a driving force, determining the direction of educational policy ( Santika, 2017) . The principal must have several abilities which include abilities in terms of personality, knowledge of educational youth, school vision and mission, decision- making ability and communication skills . The principal must also be able to mobilize school resources, lead and manage educational units , as well as act as a determinant of educational management and an agent of change for an institution towards a better direction . Good . Therefore, school principals must continue to guide, motivate and supervise and direct teachers so that they become professional teachers and have loyalty to their performance .

The teacher is the central figure in the implementation of education in schools, because teachers have a role, function and position in delivering educational success. He is a teacher who educates the younger generation of students. Apart from that, teachers always have a greater opportunity to educate students to become educated, moral and ethical young people. Therefore, teachers must use appropriate strategies, methods, learning techniques and be ready to face changes that occur at any time. Communication and innovation are needed to achieve optimal strategic management according to expectations. These two things really determine the success of learning objectives.

A teacher's performance can be influenced by several factors. Sometimes these factors can be self-inflicted, such as low work motivation, knowledge and vision. It can also come from outside, such as colleagues, managers, and the environment. The principal's management also has a big influence on the teacher's work results, because the principal is the person who organizes, influences and motivates the teacher's work. Therefore, good teacher activities cannot be separated from the teacher's strategic role as the highest leader of the school. Teachers must be able to direct, motivate, get to know teachers better, create a more comfortable working atmosphere to achieve goals according to the vision and mission that have been set.

However, in reality, the strategy to improve teacher performance at Sata Rosa De Lima Tondano Catholic High School has not worked as expected. This can still be seen in weak work discipline, there are still teachers who are not present to complete learning, are unable to complete learning on time, there are still teachers who do not take advantage of it; Learning Implementation Plan (RPP) in teaching and in the implementation of learning. There are also some teachers who still do not understand properly/completely how to prepare/make lesson plans, so it appears that teachers are adopting old lesson plans in teaching and learning implementation and there are also teachers who do not use assessment references in learning assessment. At an ideal level, internal teacher development from the leadership side, such as implementing work discipline, improving and developing learning, utilizing learning meetings, using learning tools and media, as well as implementing and evaluating learning, can be optimized to achieve improvement. teacher performance.

The objectives of this research are as follows: 1. To understand the principal's leadership strategy in improving teacher performance at Sata Rosa De Lima Tondano Catholic High School. 2. To understand the factors that hinder and support the principal's leadership strategy in improving teacher performance at Sata Rosa De Lima Tondano Catholic High School.

Strategy comes from the Greek word strategi which means the science of war or military leadership. In the Big Indonesian Dictionary, strategy is a mature plan of action to achieve certain (desired) goals. Strategy is systematic and systematic steps in implementing a comprehensive (macro) and long-term plan to achieve goals (Nasution, 2016).

The leadership of a school principal has a significant influence on the success of the school in achieving the educational goals and objectives of each school. The role of management is to influence, monitor and control the implementation of all plans that have been implemented and are being implemented so far (Jaliah, Fitria, & Martha, 2020) .

Meanwhile, the leadership of a school principal is a person's ability and willingness to direct, lead and lead other people (teachers). In cases like this, the principal has a management strategy plan, with someone capable of carrying out the task. The elements of a management situation, on the one hand, are people who can influence other people, on the other hand, people who can influence, the existence of certain goals or objectives that can be achieved, the existence of certain actions that can be achieved. influence and achieve a goal. certain goals or objectives (Syafruddin et al., 2022) .

So it can be explained that strategy is a very effective tool and step to achieve organizational success. Principals must have decision-making skills on how to best optimize resources to achieve the mission and goals of the organization. Meanwhile, the core strategy of each company includes 4 things quoted by Dina Destari from Newman and Logan as follows: a) Identifying and establishing specifications and qualifications for the results to be achieved and setting business goals, taking into account aspirations. and taste. b) Consider and choose the right and effective approach to achieve the goal, c) Consider and determine the actions to be taken to achieve the goal, d) Consider and determine standard metrics to measure the level of success.
