 A
certain amount of stress is good for us as it can encourage
change and activity. But if we are under too much stress our ability to function
effectively suffers.
When working in a team environment our stress is relayed
to the rest of the team resulting in a decline of team performance making
team building an imperative goal. For some a potential stressful situation
leads to the effect of "riding on the crest of a wave" because it generates a
certain chemical reaction in the body that gives exhilaration. For others, the
same circumstances lead to different chemical reactions which result in loss of
performance. What is needed is environmental and self regulation therefore
stress management is a partnership between the employee and
the employer. see www.actioncentredlearning.co.uk
