"The pace of technological, geopolitical, and market change means constant organizational change. This can result in a high baseline level of uncertainty, worry, and stress," Gabriella Rosen Kellerman, MD, chief innovation officer at BetterUp told Newsweek. "Asking about a topic like stress doesn't mean you have to know how to solve a problem. It shows that you care, as a manager, and you're paying attention to the employee's whole person. You can simply express empathy and recommend resources available through your organization." https://lnkd.in/gXczUaWA
Acknowledging stress isn't just compassionate leadership—it's strategic. In today's environment of constant change, managers who recognize the human impact of uncertainty create psychological safety that directly improves resilience and performance.
