Faster and faster, more and more - in nearly all industries, leaders and their employees are challenged to handle even more tasks in increasingly shorter periods of time. The side effects are hard to overlook: stress-related illnesses are steadily on the rise. However, the demands of modern business life will not decrease in the future. What remains is to learn how to better cope with the increasing dynamics and complexity. Those who can do this possess stress competence and resilience, meaning the psychological and mental strength to effectively manage challenges, changes, pressure, and difficulties. This ability is not innate but can be learned and trained. The book outlines what is important in this regard and provides concrete recommendations for action to better deal with stress and pressure. It helps to better understand one's own experience of stress and to develop suitable solution strategies.
