Professional Leadership
Leadership is the skill or ability to encourage people to work together and do their best to achieve common goals.
A leader is defined as an individual who leads or guides others, or who is in charge to command others.
In a group, every member who makes a contribution to an idea can be considered a leader. Leadership in a group passes from person to person as each individual contributes to the group’s goal.

Professional Leadership
Leaders are frequently classified as one of three types based on how they perform their leadership skills. Democratic leader – encourages the participation
of all individuals in decisions. Listens to others opinions.
Laissez-faire leader – informal type of leader, will have minimal rules, group functions with little or no direction.
Autocratic – often called a dictator, maintains total rule, makes all decisions.

Stress
Stress is the body’s reaction to any stimulus that requires a person to adjust to a changing environment. Change always initiates stress.
The stimuli (an event) to change, alter behavior, or adapt to a situation are stressors.
![Page 27: A. 4 4](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e6c5503460f94b6aed3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Stress
Stressors can be caused by internal or external forces. Internal stress – “heart attack,” cancer External stress – new job, marriage, divorce, etc.
No matter what the cause, a stressor will cause the body to go into alarm or warning mode…..the “fight or flight” response. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for action by releasing the hormone adrenaline into the blood stream.
![Page 28: A. 4 4](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e6c5503460f94b6aed3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Stress
Not all stress is harmful. A small amount of stress is essential to an individual’s well-being because it makes the person more alert and raises the energy level.
Stress can cause positive feelings such as excitement, anticipation, self-confidence, and a sense of achievement.
![Page 29: A. 4 4](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e6c5503460f94b6aed3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Stress Stop: immediately stop what you are doing to
break out of the stress response. Breathe: take a slow deep breath to relieve
the physical tension. Reflect: think about the problem and the
cause of the stress. Choose: determine how you want to deal
with the stress.
(What do these steps remind you of?)
