Supervisor's Survival Kit: Your First Step into Management, Ninth Edition

MANAGEMENT BURNOUT

Supervisor's Survival Kit is designed to prevent burnout. The chapters on managing yourself have been written to help you do the best possible job and still protect your emotional health. Supervisors who establish realistic goals, maintain comfortable priorities, and manage their time are in a position to balance their careers with their personal lives. This balance helps prevent burnout when things are stable. When major changes occur, they always introduce stress; the perceptive supervisor is prepared for temporary adjustments until career and home are again properly balanced. A balanced, happy, activity-centered, relaxing home life is one of the best insurances against stress generated in the workplace.
