What are you doing about the stress in your life? The impossible workload, the uncertainties, the difficult people you deal with, the lack of recognition? You have a headache, no appetite, an upset stomach; you can’t concentrate; you’re tired and depressed. Maybe you drink too much, take drugs, start smoking again, gobble junk food, fight with your spouse. Meanwhile, you feel sorry for yourself at having been singled out to be put in this tough situation. But everyone has stress and always has had it. Think how Adam and Eve felt when they got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Think of all the wars and plagues and recessions and depressions since then. Company failures, takeovers, and reorganisations that people have suffered through over the years. As competition gets tougher, and companies introduce new products and services faster, everyone is struggling to lower costs, get everything done more quickly, improve quality, and become more customer oriented. All that keeps everyone on the edge of their ergonomic chairs. Tension? Stress? Just walk into a meeting, shout “Reengineering,” and watch people dive under the table. Where does all this stress come from?
