The biggest is feeling a loss of control, which feeds anger, decreases motivation and can cause health issues. Know when to stop the cycle and take back control by stepping away and investing in yourself with new skill sets, recognizing your symptoms and networking with trusted colleagues who may find themselves in the same spot.
