Todd also works individually with school leaders to support achievement of goals set out by the Principal Health and Well-being survey, ie;
Increase personal capital (social, human and decisional). At the individual level this means increasing possibilities for development and exerting influence over work, based on sound values and moral judgements.
Respectfully speak back when faced with “moral harassment”, which can lead to moral stress, an occupational threat. Moral stress stems from not being able to perform the role that one feels morally obliged to do. This is quite demotivating (Burke, 2013; Gonzalez-Morales, Rodriguez, & Peiro, 2010; Nias, 1999; Pfeffer, 2018). Moral stress is generated when interference or even blocking of professional behaviours guided by moral purpose occurs (Dewey, Tufts, & American Psychological Association., 1914; Fullan, 1999; Hargreaves & Fullan, 1998; Nias, 1999; Nichols & Berliner, 2007; Whitehead, 1929).
Ensure your passions are harmonious, not obsessive. Love your work but do not let it dominate your life. A way to determine if passion is harmonious rather than obsessive is to monitor energy levels. Harmonious passion energises, individuals feel better after engaging in their passion than when they began. Harmonious passion “leads to a pervasive level of self-growth”, while obsessive passion has “corrosive effects” (Vallerand, 2015, p.334). For example, educators should monitor and maintain friendships and relationships with family and loved ones, be sure to flag unrealistic work burdens and take the time they need in order to rest.
Take responsibility for your personal work-life balance. Only you can know what is reasonable for your long-term health and wellbeing. It is therefore incumbent on the individual to find and maintain a healthy work-life balance. A work-life balance should not be imposed by others. The negative impact of poor work-life balance highlights that establishing one’s own balance is far too important to be left in someone else’s control. Educators must seek professional help where necessary, such as employer provided professional Employee Assistance Programs.
