Choose happiness

You're struggling with the same issues that plague your employees. In fact, you probably have more balls in the air than they do. And how you handle your hardships will have a significant impact on how employees view theirs. If you fret, grumble, and focus on negatives, you can expect employees to match your sour mood. But when you smile in the face of adversity, they're more likely to adopt your positive attitude.
