Expect unpredictable actions when supervising people. Be flexible and schedule time each day for the unexpected. Encourage people to set appointments. Thus, the proper use of time becomes a measure of success. The need for success can lead to stress .
Stress is a mental and hormonal response to the pressure of outside events or internal problems.
That arousal response gives people the burst of extra energy needed to do their best work and to jump out of the way of a swerving car. Then, people can get stressed out, physically and mentally. If left unmanaged, high levels of unrelieved stress can wear down natural defenses against disease. Supervisors who can manage their time are rewarded with a sense of control over their lives. With that sense of control comes a sense of peace - diminished stress.
