Over the years, in the course of organizational consulting, business development, and leading change and growth processes, we have often encountered a phenomenon that affects many managers and CEOs. This pertains to stress and other symptoms characteristic of today’s competitive business and management world. In our lectures for managers, executives, and CEOs, we address this crucial topic through an interactive discussion and lecture that highlights a common issue we all recognize: “Managerial Diseases” — how to prevent them? How to learn to let go.
Like Jugglers in a Circus
In our lectures for managers and employees, we focus on identifying the key factors that cause managers to be affected. Often, as employees and managers, we feel like jugglers in a circus, tossing 6 or 8 colorful balls in the air simultaneously and feeling compelled to strive daily to ensure no ball falls to the ground. Each of us in management strives daily to keep all the balls in the air. I want to reiterate that short and focused lectures and workshops for managers can bring significant value in empowering, training, and developing employees and managers in the field.
What Are Managerial Diseases?
It is no secret that the recognition of “managerial diseases” and their implications has only entered the public consciousness in recent years. In the lecture, I will present the latest developments in this field and the managerial and business awareness at the executive and CEO levels regarding this severe phenomenon. The lecture for managers will unequivocally demonstrate that prolonged mental stress and pressure cause sleep disorders, high blood pressure, and heart attacks — these are part of the “benefits package” that may burden those promoted to any managerial position.
The Necessity of Maintaining Balance and Moderation
The business world demands exceptionally high prices due to its inherently total and focused nature. This is a very costly price often paid by individuals in management, business development, marketing, and sales. The parallel strata in technology and production, and even various levels of employees, are not immune. The tolerance for mistakes has almost vanished from our world! This is a recipe for creating an atmosphere of pressure and insecurity. We will engage in joint thinking processes as part of the lecture on “Managerial Diseases” and ways to prevent them.
Preventing Managerial Diseases
The unique lecture will highlight the immense demands placed on managers or employees: making the right decisions as much as possible, under uncertainty, and living with a chronic shortage of essential resources — time and money. While short-term “pressure” brings alertness and “adrenaline flow” to the body, prolonged pressure has severe physical and mental symptoms. In the lecture for managers, we will examine what needs to be done, how to operate more correctly, and how to prevent this.
Identifying the Main Causes of “Managerial Diseases”
In the lecture, we will adapt the content to the organization’s domains and provide examples from processes and events reflecting the daily lives of managers and employees within the organization. We will show that the main causes of pressure and subsequent “managerial diseases” usually stem from a mismatch between the authority of the employee/manager and their actual responsibility. Furthermore, a lack of agreement and precise definition of the goals to be achieved also plays a significant role.
Harmful and Humiliating Managerial Culture
Adding to these issues is the inability to understand the importance of a culture of balance and moderation as a way of life, not just in the business world but also in personal domains. Poor communication combined with a harmful culture can contribute significantly. The last and most important factor, in my opinion, is the lack of updated professional tools for performing management roles, meaning a lack of training, guidance, and empowerment for managers and employees.
Choose Inspirational Managerial Lectures and Schedule Your Session
Inspirational lectures focusing on business content can serve as important “icebreakers” in our hectic race. It is always wise for CEOs and management to take a “managerial timeout” once a quarter, dedicated to learning and teaching topics that can help us deviate from familiar thinking and activity paths.
Create a Culture of Learning and Enrichment
Enrichment meetings and lectures create a culture that values learning and development within the organization. It signals to managers and employees that the organization recognizes the need to pause occasionally, even for just two or three hours, to provide new knowledge. This is part of building an organizational culture that supports enrichment and development for employees and managers. If this topic is on your management agenda and you want to learn more, let’s talk over a cup of coffee.
