The stress leaders feel when their confidence is shaken must be addressed so they can regain their mastery. Effective strategies help them act on questions such as, “Am I in the right career?” Or, “Is this the right role for me?” and, “How can I get the relationship back on track with my boss or my team?” In situations like these, it can be helpful to have guidance in self-assessment and re-evaluation.
