Managing Time and Stress
Handling pressure and ensuring adaptability
“Always do one thing less than you think you can do.†(Bernard Baruch)
An ability to manage time and stress is essential to maintain adaptability – understanding how circumstances are changing and staying flexible, positive and committed.
Managing time and stress are two perennially important and closely related leadership tasks. Executives not only need to manage their own time effectively but also help others to manage their schedule and work productively. The same applies to stress – an issue that is now acknowledged and accepted in the modern workplace and which often flows from excessive time constraints. Whilst some controlled pressure is useful – ensuring that concentration is heightened and performance improved accordingly – when this goes too far it becomes stress.
This toolkit explains how to manage time and stress for yourself and others.
