⑥ Strengthening Team Resilience in Dealing with Stress

Over the past two years, we have supported numerous teams experiencing elevated levels of stress. In many cases, the companies had already conducted a so-called “psychosocial risk assessment.”

One thing became clear: Stress and strain are complex phenomena, but both their external and internal causes are manageable—just like stress management on an individual and team level, and the development of resilience.

External Stressors

I experience stress when facing:

Performance overload
Excessive workload
Social conflict
Time pressure & interruptions

Development of instrumental stress competence

Internal Stressors / Personal Stress Amplifiers

I put myself under stress through:

Impatience
Perfectionism and a need for control
Lone-wolf mentality and overextending myself

Development of mental stress competence

Stress Reactions

When I am stressed, my systems respond:

Physically
Emotionally
Mentally
Through behavior and communication

Development of physical stress competence
