When the pressure’s on
We had two hours to go until the announcement and something went wrong.
The pressure had already been intense since the election and now it felt like we had failed.
Some of us thrive on this sort of pressure, but how do we make sure it doesn\’t take its toll?
Some suggestions here on leading yourself and your team through intense times:
🗣️Talk about what\’s coming, what you can do to build resilience and how you will know who needs support and when.
⛔Don\’t throw out the baby with the bathwater – even if some of your usual boundaries get broken, set new ones and be held accountable.
🔬Step out of the drama and keep things in perspective. You will live to fight another day.
⌛Be careful not to stay in perpetual overdrive. Make sure it ends and don\’t equate being under pressure with being worthwhile.
What works for you?
