Expect the best from life. It's too easy to focus on what we're not getting. Make the decision to be grateful for all that you have. Be careful not to say or do things in the heat of the moment that will damage your relationships with employees forever. Enlist support for yourself and others.
Studies show that reported work stress is lowered when people feel support from others.
Nurture your outside support system and develop a workplace support system to help your employees. Nurture and share your sense of humor. To activate your sense of humor, just look around and realize how silly we can all be. Set the example. Leaders who are able to manage stress, rather than allowing the stress to manage them, are more successful managers, and in turn, produce more efficient and productive employees.
