Abstract

Whether physical, emotional, intellectual, or social, women leaders in higher education need to make sure that their self-care is paramount. Self-care is prioritised by women leaders leading to increasing their resilience, leadership effectiveness, and overall wellbeing. Flexible policies, mentorship, and inclusive leadership cultures are important for being able to provide institutional support necessary for fostering leadership which is sustainable. This chapter discusses the role of self-care and institutional support in helping women leaders to be successful in the long run and contribute to more equitable environments in academia.
