When we focus on stress at work we often think of our environment, our job, the culture or other people as being the sources of pressure. While this is true, what we often overlook is that we ourselves may be a source of pressure to others. It is particularly important to recognise this when we work as part of a team.
This training activity begins with a short introductory exercise after which the participants work together to identify ways in which we may unknowingly increase the pressure on others. (Initially working on their own and then as a team, they identify ways in which each team member creates pressure.) Participants then go on to commit to a change in behaviour. The section in brackets is only relevant to participants who work together as a team.
Who is it for: This training activity is intended for use by trainers to help participants identify situations in which they may unknowingly be putting others under pressure.
