ABSTRACT
Being a school leader is a complicated job. e average principal works many hours a week handling stress-related issues regarding personnel, students, parents, instruction, budgets, and a myriad of other topics. Because the job of a school leader is so challenging, administrators, dealing with fatigue and exhaustion, can be sensitive and take things too personally. Taking things personally is more likely to happen when leaders are under constant pressure and do not take time to recuperate and gain the fresh perspective that breaks allow. Regardless of the reason for taking things too personally, this action is a trust buster.
