Pressure at Work Place
Leadership Training Ahmedabad - Dr. Shailesh Thaker
One of the managers of Manufacturing Industry asked a question, in the recent workshop at FCCP.
Sir, what we should do when day by day pressure at work place is increasing? Can we have pressure less work place?
I answered:
Dear learner, Pressure is going to increase; even you have to handle multiple job profile. Work place with everyday pressure is dangerous. You can have pressure of deadline twice or thrice in week but if an organization have every day pressure and everyday crisis than something is missing in the organization like team management, man planning, Time planning and systematic approach………
I repeat, everyday pressure can not create creative work place but twice a week pressure creates best output.
Even I had come across media industry, Creative industry ….they all have deadlines and they all perform…
They all are in creativity and most of them have deadline pressure.
Now you think about the creativity and pressure. How it matches!
Bu it is there.
Let me quote you an example of our life. Suppose you have flight at 5:00 p.m. in a day. You have to close a day, at least at 2:30 p.m., because of other priority and procedures (like going home, Good-bye to wife, Baggage transfer, Reaching before two hours at airport and if you are unplanned many more….). On that day, how you are jumping from one priority to another priority. Why? Because you are aware of deadline. You have no time after 2:30 p.m. That’s why you are at your best. So, pressure is creating in time performance and that’s why it is require at work place but not every day.
I strongly recommend to the managers to equip themselves with handling pressure and multi skills. These 2 great qualities will shape your career.
