Abstract	This conceptual paper reviews research findings about the world of stress of principals and superintendents, focusing on the high levels of stress that the educational leaders report. The literature on occupational stress is also explored for its insights on the medical and psychological results of workplace stress and the relationship to stress experienced by educational leaders. The paper includes information about the variety of stress reduction techniques. Mindfulness meditation is reviewed for the potential of relief that it can yield for educational leaders. Finally, implications for administrative preparation programs and future research are shared. (As Provided).
