The current research aimed to identify the role of strategic agility as an approach to improving the performance of public school principals in Riyadh. It also focused on analyzing the dimensions of strategic agility in terms of strategic objectives, strategic sensitivity, core capabilities, shared responsibility, and their availability in the school work environment. The research also sought to identify the most significant obstacles facing the implementation of strategic agility and propose development mechanisms to enhance its effectiveness, in line with the requirements of Saudi Vision 2030. The research used a descriptive-analytical approach, and a questionnaire was used as a data collection tool from a sample of (200) principals. The results revealed variations in the level of practice of the dimensions of strategic agility. Some schools demonstrated awareness of the importance of developing strategic objectives, while others demonstrated weaknesses in the practices of strategic sensitivity, shared responsibility, and the use of electronic management. The results also revealed planning, organizational, and administrative obstacles that limit the effectiveness of school principals in implementing strategic agility. In light of this, the research recommends developing planning mechanisms, updating organizational structures, activating monitoring and evaluation systems, and promoting a culture of empowerment and cooperation among school staff.
