How do you get from a mission statement or a good set of principles to a productive and loyal organization? The answer lies in your willingness and ability to be supportive.

Steinbrecher And Associates, Inc. introduces new offerings to their roster of consulting services to help leaders and their teams reach meaningful alignment:

Over the past 25 years, I have been coaching managers and executives, and while leadership styles are continually evolving, the day-to-day challenges have predominantly remained the same. Leadership, at its core, has always been about people connecting with people.

Statistics reported by the American Psychological Association underscore what we already know to be true: work related stress is skyrocketing. Unreasonable workloads, low salaries, lack of social support, and unrealistic performance expectations are some of the more commonly reported issues. When left unchecked, persisting stress can lead to serious health issues. Chronic stress can wreak havoc on the mind and body, contributing to conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and autoimmune diseases, as well damaging effects on mental health. Short-term stress also has its consequences, including reduced focus, insomnia, headaches, and a breakdown in communication skills.
