This summary is about the study of the practice in School Management, making use of metaphor as an analysis tool. This thesis tackles the following topics: (a) the access to the managerial function, and the management model; (b) the dynamic dimension of the managerial action: confidence and loneliness; (c) ethics and the silence role as a micro-politics tool; (d) timing and its use in the management work, and (e) the management tasks. For all this, an ethnographic research has been carried through a case study, which was done in a Primary School, in Cadiz.
