If you are in TV Sales or the TV business you are a competitor. Over stressed athletes usually end up hurt and seldom perform optimally. So why do we think putting more stress on our people will produce better results?
If you are in
TV Sales or the
TV business you are a
competitor. Ever notice we do our best when our body is allowed to do
its thing naturally? Golf commentators will often talk about the
simplicity of a golf swing, figure skating (my sport) is all about
balance and concentrating on being centered, uncomplicated and free.
Over stressed athletes usually end up hurt and seldom perform optimally.
So why do we think putting more stress on our people will produce
better results? Here are some serious stress producers you may want to
examine:
- Silence
- Yelling
- Additional CYA reports
- More meetings
- Eliminated training
- Threats (overt, covert)
- Longer work hours (forced or just expected)
- Unrealistic budgets
- Expecting more from fewer
- Fear
Unneeded stress produces injuries, not wins.
