In order to carry out the study, it was necessary to consider how the members of the educational community of two schools evaluate the professional performance related to the exercise of leadership, communication processes and decision making, during the internship of two CIDE graduates of the UNA. We worked the interviews and the focus groups with twenty-eight participants; later, we used the ATLAS TI tool to interpret the analysis categories. The main conclusions are that a quality management must be a process of participation, teamwork, communication and approach from the school administration to the people involved. Likewise, it is conceived that a good performance means to consider students as a priority, to help others with humility and affection, to know how to listen, to provide confidence; and that the principal considers students as a priority, and is a negotiating person who knows how to delegate. In short, a good principal is the person who can lead an institution by exercising good leadership, and, therefore, will influence the proper management of communication and decision-making. Se seleccionaron dos instituciones educativas con el objetivo de caracterizar el desempeño de dos directoras desde la mirada de la comunidad educativa: docentes, estudiantes, asistente administrativa y, padres y madres de familia. Para llevar a cabo lo anterior fue necesario plantearse: ¿cómo valoran los miembros de la comunidad educativa de dos centros educativos el desempeño profesional, en la práctica directiva de dos directoras graduadas del Centro de Investigación y Docencia en Educación (CIDE) de la Universidad Nacional, con respecto al ejercicio de liderazgo, procesos de comunicación y toma de decisiones? Se trabajó con 28 participantes, las entrevistas y los grupos focales, luego se procedió a utilizar la herramienta de ATLAS TI para interpretar las categorías de análisis. Como conclusiones principales se destacan que una gestión de calidad debe ser un proceso de participación, trabajo en equipo, comunicación y acercamiento desde la dirección con las personas involucradas. Asimismo, se concibe que un buen desempeño es aquel para quien el estudiantado es prioridad, ayuda a las demás personas con humildad, cariño, sabe escuchar, brinda confianza, es negociador, y sabe delegar.
