Challenge is the motivation environment for excellence. The major reason for stress is when you do not allow for the adjustment period in between major changes. Stress has gotten a bad name. Stress of all kinds is good, physical, emotional, and mental. What troubles us is the absence of recovery strategies need to balance the stress.
People really do feel threatened.
That makes this a good time to launch gambles you believe in. It also means that others in the organization, feeling threatened, are more likely to think up risky, innovative moves that could be worthwhile, so its important to make sure you find out about them. And remember that those above you also feel threatened, so now could be an excellent time to propose that crazy idea you just know would succeed. Your audience is receptive. If you have built trust in your ideas you can create a positive situation for both you and your boss with the successful ideas you may develop.
