Metta is making others happier. Karuna is helping to relieve them of their suffering. Mudita is rejoicing when they are doing well. And equanimity is not making things worse when they experience bad things. Be neutral when they experience bad things. It is a systematic application of the divine states of mind in business. Therefore, school administrators must apply the principles of the four divine states of mind, including equanimity, in their management. Treat all colleagues equally with fairness.
