These self‐limiting mindsets have a deep impact on the leaders whose behaviors are governed by them. These obstacles lead to constant overwork and significant emotional turmoil that has become known as chronic stress or power stress. In their book Becoming a Resonant Leader, Boyatzis and McKee refer to the cycle of constant stress as the sacrifice syndrome, which ultimately leads to burnout and diminished effectiveness (Boyatzis and McKee 2005).⁸ Leaders who can't find their way through these obstacles suffer. They do not live the lives that they imagined for themselves. Further, they will not realize their potential for growth as leaders and human beings, and they know it. While all of this is terrible for the leaders themselves, the negative impact of their self‐limiting mindsets on the people they lead, and their educational outcomes, is much greater. This is because teaching and learning are emotional work, and emotions are contagious.
