Eustress: Stress Management
Abstract When deciding on a career many people consider the type of work, the hours involved, and the salary; what they fail to consider is the stress factor. A fact that is not taught in school is that different types of careers involve different levels and types of stress. However, not all stress is bad, some stress is actually good, and the human body requires a certain amount of stress to get motivated. The bad stress is called distress when it reaches dangerous levels. The good stress is called eustress; the difficult part is finding the perfect amount of stress in order for your body to utilize the eustress productively. This is not an easy task for employees in managerial positions. Managers are usually taxed from above and below. They are sandwiched in between demands for better production, higher rates of efficiency, and greater profits from their superiors and requests for higher wages, better working conditions, and more direction from their subordinates. In order to develop a healthy relationship with stress, managers must first recognize the presence and type of stress. The next step is to determine the type of method that would control distress effectively to turn into the more productive eustress. The understanding of stress and the development and implementation of stress management techniques to turn distress to eustress is a critical component in becoming an effective, successful manager.
