DR. A. Carrel, Nobel prize winner in medicine says, "BUSINESSMEN WHO DO NOT KNOW
HOW TO FIGHT WORRY DIE YOUNG!
This saying equally applies to present day executives who
live in this era of LIBERALISATION, PRIVATISATION & GLOBALISATION (LPG) working all
over the globe in many countries, who are dying young. The word that is
frequently used in this respect in today’s corporate parlance is STRESS, STRESS
AND MORE STRESS.
Mr. Hans Selye, the famous American Stress Management Expert,
has identified the top stressors at one’s workplace as urgency of achieving the target,excessive work pressure, demanding and aggressive bosses, less performing and sometimes non-performing colleagues, competitive
peers, excessive touring and domestic disharmony. The long office hours mainly
due to late sitting habits resulting in very little time for the family especially children is a cause of domestic disharmony. And on top of everything,
the increasing uncertainty in today’s corporate life leads to so much of
executive stress. This kind of situation, in turn, affects the behaviour pattern
of an individual, sometimes fatally.
An individual who tries to build up a big business empire or
to go up in career path very fast but forgets to Organize, Deputise
and Supervise usually ends up
with heart, kidney and liver problems in his early forties itself – majority
health problems caused by strain and stress, tension and worries.
It is no denying the fact that over the last couple of
years, value system in the corporate world has generally collapsed and stress
is nothing but the direct repercussion of this collapse. That is why sane
people suggest that in today’s corporate scenario, stress will almost be a
constant companion demanding continuous serious attention. And surely, there
are many ways to control stress by means of adopting different positive life
styles.

Sir,
ReplyDeleteThe issue which you have discussed is very serious and common among working people. But, now a days stress is also becoming a concerned issue between students. They now not only have to score high, but also have to compete for jobs. The air of pressure is not only present in office or in work areas, they are every where now a days.
Thanks. Yes, you are very correct. Thats why it is necessary to find ways & means to combat the menace by adopting positive life style.
ReplyDeleteSO, Keep reading & relaxing. All the Best.
We do need to monitor regularly our stress level in order to survive in today's LPG scenario. Companies should take initiative in this regard.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading & sharing your view point on the subject. All the Best.
