| Abstract: | Introduction Burnout can severely impair the wellbeing and performance of school leaders. Recognised as asyndrome consisting of the physical, emotional and mental exhaustion created by the prolonged stress and excessive demands of a job (World Health Organization [WHO], 2024), burnout affects an individual’s productivity and wellbeing (McKay, 2020). It also has an effect on leaders’ personal and professional relationships, and their life outside of work (Cunningham, 2023). School leaders who experience burnout may feel that what was once a meaningful career has become unsatisfying and pointless, and may even consider leaving their profession (Adams, 2023; Karaevli, 2024). |
