<![CDATA[School-Based Management (SBM) is an approach that provides autonomy to Vocational High Schools (SMK) to manage resources independently and accountably. This article aims to examine the implementation of SBM in the leadership of SMK principals, focusing on supporting factors, challenges, and success strategies. The method used is a literature review, namely analyzing various studies and related literature. The results show that the success of SBM in SMK is influenced by the leadership competence of the principal, stakeholder participation, and support for educational policies.
