This study conducted literature review to understand the definition, theory, development process, and relevant studies of distributed leadership. The difficulties and prospects of the implementation of distributed leadership by preschool directors in Taiwan were explored; the result can be a reference for future studies. Specifically, the distributed leadership of the preschool directors was understood by reviewing the academic studies (including term definition, research scope, and research methods) and investigating the directors’ current implementation of distributed leadership in preschools (involving the role of preschool directors, organizational structure, and the role of teachers).Therefore, below are the proposals made by this study to develop distributed leadership development for preschool directors:
I. Work on the sketch of the meaning of distributed leadership in preschool.
II. Excite the concept of distributed leadership in preschool.
III. Enhance intentions for participation in the preschool’s administration of preschool educators.
