| Summary |
Over the past few years we have become increasing aware - both from our own personal experience and through talking to managers - of the toll pressure can take. In the 10 years we have spent working - as psychologists - on management development programmes the demand for special training in stress management has increased noticeably. One fact has struck us forcibly. While pressure is widely recognized as a part of modern-day organizational life, what to do about it when it gets out of hand is given relatively little attention. There is no magic solutions to the problems inappropriate pressure and stress, but our aim in this book has been to pur forward a sensible, if at times cahllenging, guide for survial. No one is immune to stress; our intention is to help managers work at a pressure level which is constructive and e ergizing, not destructive and draining |
|
This book is for managers, to enable them to develope strategies and skills for making pressure work in their favor, not against them. We all need pressure to function at our besr, but pressures of wrong tyupe, or present in the wrong amount, result in stress. At a personal level, stress can mean discomfort, illeness or early death. For the organization, stress means poor performers, inefficeinces and reduced effectiveness |
