of stressed leaders have considered leaving leadership altogether.
of managers say more is expected of them than a year ago, and they have to work harder.
of employees say heavy workloads leave little room for training, even when they need it.

A manager realizes her 2:00 one-on-one will include feedback her direct report won't want to hear.
