Leadership is stressful, and leaders develop coping strategies to deal with the stress.
Common coping strategies that DON'T work
- Avoidance - we hope the unpleasantness will just go away
- Indecision - we over analyze and delay tough decisions
- Over work - we think long hours are the answer
- Distancing - we deflect the problem elsewhere
- Micro-management - we try to control every move
- Withdrawal - we retreat to our offices and go silent
Coping strategies that DO work
- Acknowledge the stress
- Deal with your thinking traps
- Identify the source of your stress
- Prioritize & focus
- Hold people accountable
- Raise expectations
- Solicit feedback
