something serious not a joke? STUDY GUIDE:
1. ONE ASPECT OF LEADERSHIP IS THE NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS. THE STAKEHOLDERS RANGE FROM EMPLOYEES TO BOARD MEMBERS TO STOCKHOLDERS AND THEN TO CUSTOMERS.
2. LEADERSHIP OFTEN IS STRESSFUL. LEADER NEED TO MANAGE STRESS. BEHAVIORS LIKELY TO INCREASE STRESS INCLUDE:
-ARGUING WITH SOMEONE ABOUT WHAT IS CAUSING STRESS.
-IGNORING THE STRESSFUL SITUATION RATHER THAN ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE IT.
-BEING UNREALISTIC ABOUT WHAT CAN BE CHANGE.
-ABUSING ALCOHOL AND/OR OTHER DRUGS.
-AVOIDING OPPORTUNITIES TO SEEK HELPFUL ADVICE.
3. STRESS MAY BE REDUCED BY BETTER MANAGEMENT OF THE LEADER'S TIME. EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT MUST BE ON THE LIST OF LEADERSHIP SKILLS TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN. THE NUMBER ONE OFFENDER ON THE LIST OF REASON FOR
'NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME" IS PROCRASTINATION. THIS MEANS SOMEONE WHO PUTS OFF UNTIL TOMORROW WHAT CAN BE DONE TODAY, DELAYS DOING IT NO, DRAGGING YOUR FEET ABOUT STARTING OR COMPLETING A TASK (PERHAPS BECAUSE YOU ARE A PERFECTIONIST AND WORRY THAT THE FINISHED PRODUCT MIGHT NOT BE PERFECT).
