However, it is important to note that change should begin at the top and work its way done. Change is most successful when it is supported by top management.

This question can be made more personal for students by relating it to class assignments. Have students give an example of an instance when faculty members have provided students with opportunities, constraints, and demands in preparing assignments. Ask student to identify the level of stress they felt. Encourage a discussion about the different levels of stress felt by different students. For example, the opportunity to be creative in giving a group presentation may be considered an exciting challenge to one student, while completely overwhelming another student.
