At times stress rises and spreads unbeknownst to even the most empathic leaders.

Seven Stress Factors
TTI Success Insights has identified seven different types of stress in individuals:
1. Demand Stress
Excessive demands on knowledge, skill or time or a poor job fit for the individual create a demand that is too great for the employee.
2. Efforts / Reward Balance Stress
Effort can be defined as strenuous physical or mental excursion. Result can be defined as the output from effort and in the workplace may include compensation, promotion or recognition. High output and effort met with minimal reward creates stress.
3. Control Stress
High responsibility paired with low authority and lack of control creates a feeling of powerlessness.
4. Organizational Change
Changes within an organization effects people differently. Restructuring, poorly communicated policies and leadership changes that are not well communicated bring apprehension.
5. Manager / Supervisor Stress
Excess pressure or challenges from a superior increase stress levels.
6. Social Support Stress
Lack of support among work-place peers and competitiveness leaves employees disengaged.
7. Job Security Stress
Fear of loss of job or threatened job status including lack of advancement or even being promoted too quickly can add significantly to anxiety.
