Synopsis:
Everyone in the workplace is under stress—including your employees. The good news is that, with training, employees can learn how to work well under pressure.
This practical pocket guide for managers will teach you how to channel stress to enhance your own performance and the performance of those you manage.
You can alleviate the negative affects of stress in your workplace and organization and in teams and individuals—simply by applying the straightforward guidelines you’ll find here.
