Abstract:
Higher education brings a catalog of peaks and valleys for students, staff, and faculty. These are heightened by global crises, challenging legislation, and exclusionary practices. These kinds of adversities influence how we show up in higher education spaces and impact both our leadership and well-being. As leadership reciprocally affects, and is affected by, one's well-being, the responsibility to cultivate both within higher education continuously increases. To consistently support and uplift our students and understand the intricate challenges higher education continues to face, we introduce the well-being & leadership transformation (WBLT) model. Informed by leadership and well-being frameworks, the WBLT model integrates leadership and well-being in an intentional and holistic way. This piece establishes the elements of the model and demonstrates the WBLT model in action through various examples.
