The stress management movement has been around for some time and continues to receive unwarranted enthusiasm and support by often well-meaning leaders.
What I mean by this is that when we make stress sign personal efficiency requiring personal responsibility it exacerbates the problem. Not only do people have the original stress but now they have the stress of guilt and obligation to get rid of their own stress through techniques provided to them by their leaders.
It is far more accurate and effective to understand stress as the logical experience of a toxic team and organizational culture. This is a culture where people do not feel valued, connected or free to do their best. It is a culture of approval and permissions and focus on deficiencies, weaknesses and failures.
Stress logically decreases when the culture becomes healthier. Culture is the effective point in context for intervention. And best of all it doesn't require a change management program because we all intrinsically long for healthy team and organizational environment.
