Here are a few tips for dealing with stress behaviors.

  1. Identify and be aware of your own stress behaviors. Don’t contribute to the problem.
  2. Acknowledge the stress behavior. We all have rough days – give the benefit of the doubt.
  3. Avoid “pushing the behavioral style buttons” of a person exhibiting stress behavior (see above).
  4. Adapt your own behavioral style to that of others, with behaviors that meet the needs of those you lead. Don’t lead like you would want to be led. Lead like they want to be led.
  5. Identify elements in the work environment that can be adjusted to minimize style-based stress sources.
