Surviving Stress of Organizational Change

Only you can reduce your stress

As companies have to change, make your own adjustments to stay relevant

Whatever is going on, it is the reality, so decide to move on

Look how pressures and priorities have changed, so play by the new rules

Align with organization that changes even if painfully, low-stress entities give short-term comfort, but may not survive

Some things are well beyond personal control, so no use trying to affect something you cannot

When deciding on personal change, keep up the needed pace, so as not to lag behind

Reengineer what is under your scope, to meet current or new goals, eliminating the rest

Increase pace to maximize your personal productivity

Forget spending time worrying; be productive today and create your own future today

Make sure that you take on only as much as you can handle

Develop desire, passion, and love for your job, and stay romantically involved. Much of your life is spent there.

Find new assignments where you can grow, don’t just stay in your limited comfort zone

Life would be unbearably boring if you knew how everything ends. Enjoy uncertainty and instability, as they give the spice to life.

Organizations have to answer to many stakeholders, so they may not be able to look out for you as much we all hope.
