Adapt you'r leadership to where the employee is on the Stress ladder

It's impotant that you set the stage for a safe, trustfull, open and honest dialogue
In this dialogue, you can talk about how the employee feels and thrives, and where the employee would place himself on the stress ladder. You can then try to adapt your leadership to where the employee is on the stress ladder (figure 2).
By having a close dialogue, and by being aware of your adapted leadership, you can often help your employee so that the employee can continue to create value for the workplace and potentially avoid a sick leave.
