[From 10$/Pg] Also Like Benjamin Franklin What problems does Angela appear to have
right now, and what problem-solving strategies might Angela use to approach her
problems?Angela feels like those who work for her are underperforming in her superior
does not respect her. She feels like her regional manager is micromanaging her. Now Angela
is starting to show signs of stress not only in her work life but in her personal life as well. In
order to help manage her stress Angela must first recognize that she is stressed out. Then
she must tried to pinpoint where this stress is originating. After she has recognized the
origin of her stress, she could talk to Piers or loved ones about how she feels and how she
could deal with it. Then she could use some of the tips found in the pocket guide to college
success book. A few of the stress management techniques are you get regular exercise,
watch TV, Get better sleep and eating healthier.Shushan, J. (2019). The Pocket Guide to
College Success (3rd Edition). Macmillan Higher Education.

resolution strategies Angela could implement to resolve her issues?Some of the conflict
resolution strategies I would recommend would be two first communicate the issue she is
having with her workers and her regional manager. Then I would recommend she uses
some of the strategies provided above to help her combat her stress. I find that it’s
personally harder to address stress if I have not yet eliminated the cause of it. It’s also
pointless because you’re just going to be stressed out again so it’s imperative that she
addresses her issues first.What assumptions is Angela making about her new
supervisor?Angela’s made the assumption that her new regional manager has no respect for
her. This assumption was made because she feels he is trying to micromanage her or in
other words tell her how to do her job. Well yes, micromanagement is a very annoying thing
to have done to you. It doesn’t mean the person doesn’t respect you. The other way to know
for sure is to ask them or at least ask them to not do so. If they continue then it might be
respect issue but if not they might have only been trying to help. The point is Angela will
never know unless she addresses it with him personally.What role (if any) might
communication (or miscommunication) play in this scenario?I believe communication plays
a big roll in most of Angela stress. For example she assumes that her regional manager
doesn’t respect her and that her workers aren’t meeting deadlines. I believe both of these
issues could be a result of miscommunication. Regional manager may only be trying to help,
but unless she talks to him she won’t know and her workers may be doing their best to meet
the deadlines but don’t have the means to do so. Until she takes some initiative to ask and

2. speak to these people, she won’t knowWhat suggestions can you give Angela for managing
her stress? The best tip for Angela is to make sure to reach out to someone if she needs help
handling it. There are plenty people out here to help anyone who needs the help and
sometimes it’s not something we can go through and deal with on our own. Many people
have been to the same thing we’ve been through and it’s important to use these people as a
resource and not just another story you don’t want to hear. Most of these people would be
more than happy to share a couple tips they learned along the way. Also like Benjamin
Franklin said “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” So I always remember to
try to nip stress in the bud when you see the signs of it taking place. Another great tip is to
use YouTube. In this day and age, YouTube has a video about anything for any subject in any
language. One of the videos I find to be very helpful is https://youtu.be/Bk2-dKH2Ta4.
