Letter From the Editor
The adage says March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Maybe you can relate? As a manager do you ever find yourself dealing with issues that seem crucial and important at the time, but when you step back from them you realize that in the greater scheme it’s not such a big deal?
It’s stress that causes this to happen. And not only can stress make your professional life more difficult, it can also have a huge impact on your health. With this in mind, this month’s Manager’s Minute is packed full of strategies and ideas to help you overcome stress.
Have a great month,
Brian Frederick
