Manager Health and Wellbeing: Taking Care of Yourself When Managing Others

Most managers are, by definition, focused on factors outside of themselves. Managing a team of employees and running an organization requires a ton of outward attention, and an ability to prioritize others’ needs before addressing ones’ own. This perspective, however, can come at a high price: managers may neglect to notice or address their own stress and physical health.
Managers and professionals should also keep an eye on their own health and wellbeing as basis to care for others.
