While reviewing this course, a quote about ethics within the workplace really stood out to me: "unethical decisions often come from working in isolation." As an [informal] leader, I strive to bring my team together by representing and upholding my own personal values and the values projected by my organization. This quote really struck out because it reminded me of how I used to feel: isolated. In my isolation (both in my personal and professional life), I became the worse version of myself. Thankfully, I was made connections that encouraged me to leave my previous environment and take another opportunity.… >>>

WISDOM

Stress is not the enemy but rather the body's natural response to perceived demands. The true wisdom lies in understanding that chronic, unmanaged stress erodes health, relationships, and productivity, while short-term stress can sharpen focus and motivation. Self-awareness is the foundation: recognizing personal triggers, physical signals, and emotional patterns allows individuals to intervene before stress escalates into burnout or illness.

BEST PRACTICES

Effective stress management combines preventive habits with responsive strategies. Daily practices such as physical movement, adequate sleep, mindful breathing, and intentional disconnection from screens build resilience over time. Setting clear boundaries between work and personal life protects… >>>

I have learned to talk to my manager to get the help I need under stressful situations.  Try to do different hobby to help with stress.   Go away from stress situation just for a little while that makes you happy and then when you back you can reassess and that might fix the stress. 

Make sure to leave by example if you are in a leader position.   Take responsibility for my actions and take credit when it is do.   Always maintain an ethical situation in my work place.

My actions will be either a positive or negative influence on other employees.

A major point I took from this module is how big of an impact individual behavior has. Behaviors spread quickly, so it is important that I am mindful of my practices. 

Great Introduction to my first free lesson.

The manager need to follow instructions and be on time at work. It’s very important to set up personal goal. 

This course was interesting. It helped me to identify areas where I could best utilize my time more efficiently.

Always focus on the things that are in your control and talk with someone when you feel no control to help level out the different stress levels

I learned to never just assume my Boss doesn't value my concerns, but o communicate clearly with respect

Always lead with integrity and intent

In order to lead effectivly you need to be able to set the example you want to be followed. Its alot like Jesus if you think about it. Show what you want and act the way you want other to in order to lead by example and be a leader for your team

I learned how to manage stress at work

A manager's best practice is to lead by example, always shine the light on the team members' work and ideas. Keep everyone motivated by making sure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to workplace expectations. 

If I feel myself getting to stressed take a moment and talk to someone that I trust figure out ways to help myself stay organized to get things done that need to be done 

Always do what you want your employees to do set the expectations 

You need to get to know your bosses expectations and learn what their directives, polices, and procedures are and how your boss works. This will help you as a manager or a team lead excel in your leadership. Don't be afraid to ask for help when needed and don't be afraid to give your boss feedback on their projects they are telling you about either.

People pay attention to what you do, that's why you have to show your best behavior. 

Even the best employees sometime need support, direction, advice and commendation. In order for managers to deliver relevant and useful support, they need to know their staff, both as a team and individually, and treat each person as a "lifelong learner". To me that means providing staff with critiques as well as congratulations and ample opportunities for staff to participate in a wide continuum of training and support that is tailored to the team or individuals on the team. This approach should always include the team/individual in sharing what the need is for the training and hearing their feedback about… >>>
