Stress is an inevitable part of the workplace experience. Managed properly, stress can be a positive contributor to peak performance. Managed poorly, stress can lead to burnout and failure. The purpose of this chapter is to help readers understand the basics of stress and increase their awareness of advances made in stress prevention and coping, particularly between men and women.
