Abstract

Prioritizing Health and Well-Being: Self-Care as a Leadership Strategy for School Leaders is focused on the importance of health and wellbeing for the nation’s school superintendents. This book is based on strategies developed in the author’s professional role as superintendent. Each chapter highlights a key self-care strategy and is grounded in the day-to-day work of superintendents. Prioritizing Health and Well-Being explores the importance of health and well-being through both personal and professional perspectives. With the national focus on social and emotional well-being and work and life balance, a discussion focused on the superintendency with simple and practical strategies is offered. This book is written for any aspiring, novice, or veteran superintendent to utilize and gain an appreciation for the importance of their own health and well-being in terms of their overall effectiveness as a leader.
