Managing Stress in the Workplace: What Leaders Can Do to Stay Fortified and Protect Their Teams
In this episode of Managing Stress in the Workplace: What Leaders Can Do to Stay Fortified and Protect Their Team, co-hosts Dr. Sheryl White, Dr. Undraye Howard, and Dr. Loretta Howard sit down with a mental health expert to unpack one of the most overlooked dynamics in leadership: stress. Leader stress doesn’t stay contained — it spreads. It shapes communication, decision making, team morale, and the overall health of the workplace.
Our guest, Jacqueline Manley, explains how leaders can recognize their own stress signals, regulate their emotions, and set boundaries that protect both themselves and their teams. You’ll learn how urgency can be communicated without panic, how psychological safety is built through everyday interactions, and how leaders can support employees who are overwhelmed or burning out.
Whether you’re a seasoned executive or a new manager, this conversation offers practical tools, mindset shifts, and real world strategies to help you lead with clarity, calm, and resilience — even when the pressure is high.
