Stress in the Superintendency: School Leaders Confront the Daunting Pressures of the Job.
Goldstein, Amy
School Administrator, v49 n9 p8-13,15-17 Oct 1992
Stress accompanies most superintendencies, but how much strain a superintendent experiences hinges on personality traits and coping ability. Superintendents are pressured by innercity work environments, changing demographics, tightening finances, confrontational school boards, and dissatisfied constituents. For some, the answer is early retirement. A sidebar lists stress reduction strategies. (MLH)
