No leader is perfect and
just like everyone else, as a leader you may have off days. Life and work stress can create imbalance, turbulence, and unwanted reactions within your company. Besides the fact that perhaps your industry or work is quick paced, if you notice that your staff is consistently off balance, it might be an indicator of stress and being overwhelmed by numerous task and duties. It is said that the most successful leaders understand that proactive awareness, stress management, and support for a healthy workforce is an important recipe in a productive team.
So how can you tell that your staff is struggling? Here are some obvious pointers:
- Your staff don’t celebrate wins anymore. A happy employee celebrates even the smallest of victories but once you notice that your compliment isn’t received with enthusiasm then that’s a big sign. Overwhelmed and overworked employees struggle to look beyond the negatives. It’s easy for your staff to overthink and be consumed in their thoughts about their shortcomings within the company. Sadly, they can now only taste the sour rather than the sweet at work.
- Being consumed by negatives may leave your staff pre-occupied to the point that mistakes become a regular thing in their daily tasks.
- When asked about how they’re doing at work, they simply respond with “Fine” and struggle with explaining exactly what they’ve been up to.
