The Emotional Aspects of Sustaining Secondary Headship

Abstract

The emotional aspect of headship caused not by the decision‐making process itself but by the pressures and conflicts resulting from a conscientious desire to run a stable, participative school is examined. The need to give balanced judgements causes emotional stress on the head who can make a school stable or turbulent, give general direction or intervene constantly.
