How Leaders Handle Stress


Leaders need to practice calm and composure at the workplace. This is easier said than done considering the responsibility and workload that build up stress. Yet, good leaders view stress as a positive. Indeed, stress can move one to action, helps one focus to get the job done, and stay competitive and marketable.

Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO affirms, “Stress can propel one to take the right action and work at being productive. The important thing is that the stress level is managed so it does not turn toxic making one feel overwhelmed and paralyzed at work.” She shares these tips on how leaders are able to get a grip at the workplace:

1. A leader knows himself and constantly finds ways to reconnect with his core values.

2. He knows when to say no. He realizes when it is best to cut tasks from his list or delegate them to responsible people.

3. He develops talents who are responsible and rewards them justly.

4. A leader does not waste time on trying to control things he cannot.

5. He stays fit. He has a healthy lifestyle

6. He organizes his personal and professional life.

7. He recharges and mindfully renews his motivation when faced with challenges.
