Stress Is The Result Of Fear
| There is a source of stress that often characterizes those who hold positions of leadership – the fear of losing control. When things are not going my way or I feel unable to control the outcomes of my business, my personal world and (too often) the world of others with whom I work and live, I can become fearful. If unchecked, this fear soon manifests itself in physical and mental stress.
The ability to accept and adjust to results which may initially appear unfavorable is essential for anyone, not just those in a leadership role. I have often had to give up my specific agenda and adjust to unexpected outcomes. In doing so, I have learned to become open to new ideas and directions, which I can then use to further the ends being sought.
When I've been inflexible and closed, the results are increased stress for me and for those with whom I work and live. It has always been my experience that when I behave with flexibility and openness, my productivity and success improve dramatically and my fears and the resulting stress are reduced substantially. |
