Features: Burnout has become a hot topic in recent years. Burnout refers to a state of physical and mental exhaustion caused by intense work pressure. As principals, with great responsibilities, pressure from all sides leads to an increasing number of principals falling into endless pressure and experiencing burnout. Who can help principals alleviate stress and rebirth from burnout? Dr. Barbara L. Brock and Dr. Marilyn L. Grady from the United States completed this book after visiting numerous principals and summarizing and generalizing their successful or unsuccessful work experiences. The book is divided into three parts: The first part introduces the nature of general stress, how stress arises, and how individuals respond to stress. The second part summarizes how principals can make appropriate adjustments in their psychology and behavior to reduce stress, and practical strategies for alleviating pressure from both family and work through effective time management and interpersonal skills. The third part provides suggestions for principals' professional renewal and personal well-being. Additionally, the book includes self-assessment tools for principals and practical examples of how to reduce stress at the end. It is hoped that this book can help principals face work pressure correctly, always engage in their principalship with a positive attitude and high work enthusiasm, and break free from burnout.
