Be Interactive Pty's Guide to Dealing with Pressure

Even the most successful leaders in business can struggle with the occasional pressure. Be Interactive Pty offer their motivating guide on how to stay calm in stressful situations.



    BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, September 17, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Every job comes with the occasional pressure, be it a tight deadline or a disappointing end of month result. Therefore it's no surprise that business leaders can often find themselves dealing with a wide array of pressures and stresses on almost a daily basis. Sales and marketing firm Be Interactive Pty believe that it's important for business leaders to be aware of how to manage pressure correctly, to ensure it doesn't negatively impact the business or their productivity. TalentSmart, the world's leading emotional intelligence agency found in a recent survey that 90% of business leaders are highly skilled at remaining calm in a crisis. Be Interactive Pty find this extremely promising, however believe that more could be done to help struggling business leaders cope with workplace pressures.

Stress can not only impact on workplace morale and relationships, it can also have a damaging effect on both mental and physical health. Surprisingly a small amount of stress is actually necessary in order for people to accurately pinpoint when they are required to take action. Without a little stress the human brain would be unable to make an emotional connection to a situation and fail to react accordingly. However prolonged stress has been found to have a negative effect on the part of the brain used to determine self-control, which can lead to reckless and dangerous behaviour. Physically, stress can increase an individual's chances of developing heart disease and obesity. Therefore Be Interactive Pty believe it's vital for business leaders to ensure they have coping mechanisms in place to not only handle stress, but to identify quick and effective solutions to causes of stress.

To help business leaders reduce workplace pressure, Be Interactive Pty have offered a guide on how to cope with and eliminate stress.

Avoid 'What If' Questions
Time spent worrying about various possible outcomes to a problem, is time that could be spent on finding an effective solution. Thinking about even one 'what if' can quickly spiral out of control and make an issue appear worse than it is. Be Interactive Pty believe it's important for business leaders to focus on the here and now, and stay positive in times of stress to ensure issues are properly dealt with.

Allow Time to Disconnect
It's now harder than ever for business leaders to truly switch off. Smartphones and tablets now mean that leaders are always contactable and open to stress, even when they are out of the office. Be Interactive Pty believe it's important for business leaders to allow themselves some time to completely disconnected from their work life. Whether it's an entire week or just an afternoon, time away is vital to both mental and physical health.

Breathe
It may sound strange but a business leader can get on top of their stress by simply managing their breathing. Purely focusing on breathing can help the brain block out other distractions and focus on the task at hand.

Accept Help
As a leader, accepting help may be considered a sign of weakness, when in fact it's quite the opposite. Allowing others to help and delegating a heavy workload not only shows that a business leader trusts their workforce, it also boosts morale. If delegating isn't an option, talking to peers and even friends can all go some way to helping identify a clear solution to a complicated problem.
