Features: School management is one of the most important aspects of human interaction. Successful school management requires principals to possess skills such as communication, motivation, conflict resolution, and team building. New research shows that emotions play a significant role when principals apply these skills. The two authors of this book have long been engaged in school leadership and training. Based on studies in psychology and brain function, they analyze the role of emotions in school management through daily life and specific examples of school administration, explaining in an accessible way how leaders should value emotions, understand their relationships with situations, relevant people, and the leader's own characteristics. This helps leaders better understand and respond to emotional reactions triggered by work, thereby promoting the successful conduct of management tasks.
