### Know Your Pressure Before You Solve It

Most school leaders know what pressure feels like. What is harder to see is whether they are solving the pressure they are actually carrying, or just the version that has become the most visible.

The Leadership Pressure Triangle is designed to help leaders read pressure differently. In this leadership paper, you will:

- Understand why the same pressure keeps returning under different names
- Identify whether the pressure is primarily personal, relational, or systemic
- See how one source of pressure often reinforces another
- Recognise why reasonable responses sometimes fail to shift the pattern
- Begin identifying what needs to be mapped more clearly before the next response

### If the same pressure keeps returning, the issue may not be effort—it may be diagnosis
