Communicating Stress

Why do some managers and leader stress out their employees while other do not?  As with most emotions, stress is communicated both verbally and nonverbally and may unintentionally create a toxic organizational environment.  When a manager is stressed, the messages which are sent may be received as stressful by employees and negatively impact the workplace.  Managers and leaders need to learn to de-stress their messages and hence make the workplace more tolerable to the employees.
