The boss can help the subordinates reach full potential by

I have workload and srtress. How can I reduce it?

- The bosses may see your potentials so they assign you more workload.
- Do not avoid it but manage it.
- More works mean more experience.
- Leave work to exercise and you can deal with work load.
To work happily, I can think of working in the middle of the road (Buddhism known as มัชฌิมาปฏิปทา)
And if you really don't like your job, the easy answer is "Quit".
Some talent employees need talent leaders to help coaching, guiding, pushing and be their role model.
To share idea on No.8 question,
I have workload and stress. How can I reduce it?,
I think you might need to understand "Time Management", do what is urgent and most important first.
And the must you should do is learning the way to say "NO" when someone gives you things (that is not urgent nor important).
