Pressure is increasing, coming from all sides: work,
family, mind, desires, aims, co-workers, bosses, community, news, social network,
etc. And it looks scarier day by day with
clear consequences to the mental and physical health.
Leadership helps to understand the pressures and
create a sustainable strategy to face them instead of avoiding or running away
from them.
The fundamental power a leader has is that she or he
has chosen everything they live, no matter if they are roses or thorns. When a leader is living through a rosy period, he or she just enjoy life
and that is the time to relax and plan for the future; when the period is thorny, then all that energy a leader
has may be used to help her or him to win over and go through any obstacle.
That means you as a leader know the apparent causes
for pressure and you can deal with them.
Not only that, but stress won’t come to you while you are managing that burden,
or at least, you will be able to manage it and keep it at low levels.
Do you know the reason? Any situation that creates
pressure is a game for a leader and a play with many actors and roles.
(Excerpt from the book 82 Reasons to be a Leader)
