Managers at all levels will encounter various tensions. Some are centered on decision making and performance needs. Other sources of stress include personnel management, policy differences, corporate politics, and board management. The speed of the day-to-day business itself can be a source of significant stress.
Managers can only manage the people who actually do business, depending on their judgment, skills and ethics to achieve performance goals. Then there is always an interaction between personal and business life. Family crises, marriage and family pressures, health issues: all of this puts pressure on executives, who are, just people, not machines.
Only fools and dead people can get rid of stress.
In stressful situations, experiencing stress is a normal, healthy response. This is not a mental illness. So why keep a snoring? Here are some common reasons why executives want to hide stress:
The people they supervise may judge that they are incompetent or incompetent
Executives above them may think they have lost good judgment
The board may lose confidence in them
Confidential information may be compromised if they discuss stress
Executives should have the nerves of steel, aren't they?
Today's US companies are more supportive of mental health services than ever before. With this change, health promotion is supported and it is recognized that stress management is a legitimate aspect of corporate governance. Stress management is considered an important way to address health issues, burnout and many other employee issues. Stress management can lead to better decision making and higher productivity. However, for the reasons listed above, executives who promote pressure management are reluctant to take advantage of the company resources provided for this purpose.
Solution: Look outside the company for ears to listen to. Being listened to is one of the best ways to vent your stress, and you also get a perspective on stressors. When people talk to someone who understands and is not a gossip, people always do better under pressure.
Be careful to find people who meet these criteria: be smart and willing to listen and be very good at maintaining confidence. Professional executive coaches usually meet the requirements, but others do. Most importantly, if you talk to a third party, you can feel comfortable, whoever is honest and honest, and whoever will never break confidence.
