The Ideas Into Action Guidebook Series
This series of guidebooks draws on the practical knowledge that the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL®) has generated, since its inception in 1970, through its research and educational activity conducted in partnership with hundreds of thousands of managers and executives. Much of this knowledge is shared—in a way that is distinct from the typical university department, professional association, or consultancy. CCL is not simply a collection of individual experts, although the individual credentials of its staff are impressive; rather it is a community, with its members holding certain principles in common and working together to understand and generate practical responses to today’s leadership and organizational challenges.
The purpose of the series is to provide managers with specific advice on how to complete a developmental task or solve a leadership challenge. In doing that, the series carries out CCL’s mission to advance the understanding, practice, and development of leadership for the benefit of society worldwide. We think you will find the Ideas Into Action Guidebooks an important addition to your leadership toolkit.
Executive Brief
Everyone experiences stress, and leaders face the additional stress brought about by the unique demands of leadership: having to make decisions with limited information, to manage conflict, to do more with less … and faster! When your resources meet or exceed these demands, you experience eustress—the energy you feel when tackling a challenging assignment and feeling confident in your success. When the demands exceed your resources, you experience distress—the type of stress associated with health problems and deteriorating relationships. This guidebook will help you learn to tell which is which, to judge your reactions to situations, and to manage the negative type of stress.
The Stress of Leadership
Consider these situations.
The head of your organization has just announced a decision to downsize the company, and you need to identify 10 percent of your team to be targeted for this reduction in force. You have no idea where to start.You are a new parent and feeling overwhelmed by the competing demands of your job as a sales director and your new role of father. You can never do enough.Your work relationships among your peers are so competitive and filled with conflict that you must always remain vigilant about whom you talk to and what you say. You can never relax and be yourself.
