By following the evolution of situated practices and concepts of educational leadership, the transformation of the Regional Centers for the Professions of Education and Training in Morocco, from a local management mode to a regional management mode, has inspired us to characterize the new style of leadership practiced within these centers. For this, we took a sample of the Center of the Casablanca-Settat Region as a megalopolis. The eleven other centers in Morocco have the same institutional framework and the same regional operating logic. To collect data characterizing the leadership practiced in terms of building the center’s commitments on a vision and values, we targeted the management and teachers, as the main actors of this leadership, through an online questionnaire. To validate certain information, we used the center’s database. In terms of our work, we ended up with a form of leadership, which we called “satellite leadership”, allowing each annex or provincial branch—of a Regional Centers for the Professions of Education and Training—to develop its local leadership while evolving with the changing orbit of regional leadership. This new configuration allows us to conclude on the possibility of carrying this style of educational leadership, at the national or international level, on any educational structure bringing together sub-structures grouped.
