Manager's Weekly Stress Checklist
Ten minutes on Friday. Catch problems while they're still small.
Your team
Check all that apply this week.
- Someone's response time or work quality dropped noticeably
- Someone who usually talks in meetings went quiet
- Someone worked visibly past their normal hours more than twice
- Someone snapped at a teammate or customer out of character
- Someone canceled or skipped a 1:1
- PTO requests are at zero — nobody is taking time off
You
- I skipped lunch more than twice this week
- I answered messages after 9pm more than twice
- I canceled a 1:1 to “catch up on work”
- I can't name one thing each direct report is working on right now
If you checked 2+ in either section
Pick the ONE person (maybe you) with the most checks. Do one thing Monday: a 15-minute conversation with no agenda except “how are you actually doing?”
