Abstract

This paper explores the crucial role of psychological resilience and stress management in the field of educational leadership. The study aims to understand how leaders can cultivate resilience within themselves and their teams to effectively navigate the pressures and challenges that are inherent to the educational environment. The paper discusses various theoretical frameworks and empirical research on resilience and stress management, highlighting their relevance to educational leadership. Through a comprehensive analysis of the literature, the paper identifies key strategies and practices that educational leaders can employ to enhance their own resilience and to foster a resilient organizational culture. These strategies include mindfulness and self-awareness, fostering supportive relationships, promoting a positive school climate, and implementing evidence-based interventions for stress reduction. The findings suggest that by prioritizing psychological resilience and stress management, educational leaders can not only improve their own well-being but also create a more productive and supportive educational setting for students and staff.
