Stress

I have found that when I get stressed out at work I need to stop and ask for help if I need it. I also have found that spending time with my family and animals helps me out.

Challenges

I have found that if I lead by doing and helping out my employees then the team seems to follow and we all work better together.

How to Combat Stress

The best way to combat stress is to focus on the things you can control and to put aside the things you can't control.

Stress and anxiety that come about in certain situations in life are a result of trying to do the things that can't be controlled. 

If people learned how to focus more on what they can do, it would take away the worry/anxiety from the unknowns in the trials of life.

This is something, I believe, everyone struggles with and I plan to work on this in my life as well.

What I have learnt today

I have learnt  the importance of knowing one's strength and weaknesses so one can be productive in his/her role.I have also learnt that being in management ,one needs to emulate postitive work ethics as employers are more likely to copy what the managers do at work.If an employee works under a manager who is efficient ,professional and takes his/her job serious,that will breed competitive and competent employees.

What I learnt
