Every workplace, indeed every person in every workplace, has some level of stress. If not addressed, high stress levels can debilitate individuals and disrupt work processes. Goldberg, the author of numerous books (including Overcoming High Tech Anxiety) and vice president of The Century Foundation, says that employees suffer less from stress when leaders accept responsibility for managing stress -- their own and others.
