We have learned over the years that there are definite approaches to supervision and managing employees that work better than others. Of course, schools offer degrees in this area, so we have cornered the market on "what works".
The following are tips, some of which were generously borrowed from Dr. Elliott Jaffa, which describe characteristics of great managers. We chose these because they make sense to us based on the kinds of situations we have seen at UMCP and the effectiveness that these approaches appear to produce.
Depression is a "whole body" illness involving mood, thought and body. It may affect appetite, sleep, feelings about self, and thinking ability. It may also affect relationships and performance at work. Clinical depression is more than the "blues" or the normal feelings we have around loss. In depression, symptoms are more intense, disabling, and lasting. The usual coping skills don't work.

The Faculty Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) has worked with many employees who feel under stress in their home and work lives. We have seen people individually, and in large groups, and many complain they feel their lives are out of control, and filled with stress. Although there are many things we cannot control, we are in charge of how we respond to stress, and how we have the ability to feel more relaxed, competent, and productive.
