What is working under pressure? I searched the Internet and it offered me a first definition:
"Basically, it is about being able to work and satisfactorily resolve the activities carried out, even in totally adverse circumstances."
This is confusing, "facts with response" and decidedly "not work under pressure" is just the definition of resilience. And it is one thing to bear the pressure and another thing to respond to that pressure.
So I decided to provide an answer from my points of view.
I was interested in the subject, and I noticed that most of the ads that managers or supervisors seek, require as a condition of the position "experience in work under pressure" among other attributes of super men such as full time dedication, do not eat, do not sleep, used to mole life.
We need you to deal with:
People who do not want to do anything, a mass of incompetent people where the only way to work is Egyptian style.
People with little stimulus, with "depression that is without internal pressure." With a rigorous need for external motivation. The coach is a motivator !! The whip too !!
A dilemmas of lack of pressure or excessive pressure, always suggest a conflict.
The conflict is usually not only labor or union. It has cost most of the world's organizations a life to use a working method, and when they learn it they have to withdraw, or market conditions have changed or human resources have died due to being too acidic an environment and toxic.
Whether by mistake or by truth, working under pressure involves a delicate need, which can become a way of working that sooner or later kills the worker and decisively the company.
Pressure is used as a way of working:
- When trust is eroded. When there is no unified vision of "what to work for" When the links that unite the organization or the company are the rules of "all against all" and an eye for an eye. When the only way to Incentive is punishment or economic remuneration When you don't have a work plan and your own agenda When you don't work with one plan, you work under someone else's plan - it can be from the company or the union or just from anarchy When there is no trust on the part of some members of the organization.
Now many think that there is no need to waste time on these issues and that it is cheaper, in a false cost benefit, to use and to throw away. It does not matter if they are chickens, bananas, papers or people.
Question: Why do you waste so much time on technical considerations about football or baseball teams? There the vision changes in this regard.
Why don't they rule out the players or the coach in the same way that they rule out the managers, supervisors, or workers?
Why it takes a lot to disarm a team!
And it takes a lot more to get one to appear!
Because we know for a fact that if we find the return, the team begins to win, win and win. And here we have multiple benefits for everyone.
Organizations, companies, families, finally people work in the same way.
I wondered then if there really is a conflictive society, a conflicting market and / or a model that has been installed, in the paradigms or style of labor and social leadership.
Why do we hold the same model, which has not worked and makes things worse?
It is true that there is a growing tendency to conflict. A very appropriate definition is:
There are entrepreneurs who tell me: with teamwork, with Donald Duck or with Francisco, that things are bad, they will never change, why should I change then?
There are people who justify the unjustifiable. What do you want me to say? That things are easy? But why not improve? Why not progress? Why not go in search of more and better instead of the same or worse?
You as in any matter of life… choose, you choose.
Micke Murdonk, a businessman from the USA, whom I met, thinks about it:
The greater the amount of conflict and trouble, the greater the pay or rewards.
If you have few problems in life, your rewards will be few. But if the risk and complexity increase…. "The rewards increase."
Now the decision belongs to him: he stays with the problem of "less and worse" or he takes on the challenge (with his problems) of "more and better".
- You choose where and when and with whom you want to be. You choose where and when you want to live. You choose where and when you want to die.
