The COVID 19 pandemic and its byproducts created an enduring and unhealthy impact on educational leaders' health and wellbeing (Brackett, 2020; Ravitch, 2022; Smith, 2021; Superville, 2022; Woo & Steiner, 2022). “The results are really striking that 8 in 10 principals [said they were] experiencing job-related stress,” said Ashley Woo, the lead author of the new report from the RAND Corporation. The study also found that this job-related stress impacted women and those working in high poverty schools the most during the pandemic (Woo & Steiner, 2022; Superville, 2022). We must provide educational leaders with the tools and supports they need to enhance the professional quality of their lives in a manner that will allow them to succeed, thrive and survive as leaders. (Smith, 2021, McKee 2017, Ravitch 2022).
