Novice principals are the targets of change in the school that gives new expectations and hopes for each community. Wiley (2011) mentioned that novice principals might include those with no prior principal experience and considered in their honeymoon stage. The aim of this study was to reveal and describe the lived experiences of novice principals in leadership and management in the Archdiocesan schools. The method used for this study was hermeneutic phenomenology as it exposed the essence of the phenomenon through the lived experiences of the novice principals. A phenomenological perspective emanates from the principals themselves. A grand tour question of “what is the essence of being a leader and a manager mean for novice principals in the Archdiocesan schools” is identified in this research. Specifically, the aim of the research is to answer the following problems:
1. What are the lived experiences of the novice principals in the Archdiocesan schools?
2. How do the novice principals understand the challenges in leadership and management?
3. What Leadership Development Program may be proposed to help novice principals?
