No multi-tasking. If necessary, shorten the call to a length you can manage being present for.  8.⁠ ⁠Be mindful of perceived favoritism - are you truly being equitable all the time?  9.⁠ ⁠Tap into your empathy skills by immersing yourself in movies and books which relate to a very different life experience. 10.⁠ ⁠Go easy on yourself! Managers are disproportionately affected by stress and burnout, Care but don't become a caretaker.
