Hypothesis: Principal’s Personality has a Moderating effect on the relationship between Principal’s Facial Expressions and Performance of County and Sub County Public Secondary Schools in Nairobi City County. Positivist research philosophy, descriptive and cross section research design were used. Proportional and random sampling design were used to collect the data from 278 teachers in 55 Secondary Schools. The result confirmed the hypothesis that; a unit of change of Principal’s Facial Expression explained75.2% of the variation of the School Performance, a unit change of Principal’s personality moderated 34% of the relationship between Principal’s Facial Expression and Secondary School Performance and a unit change of interaction factor influenced 18.9 % of the variation of the relationship. This study was in line with past literature, that manager’s personalities strengthen organization performance.
