New To A Management Position & Stressing? Ottawa Management Counselling Can Help

Management Counselling Ottawa 2The Stress of Management

Management Counselling Ottawa 3Often receiving none of the praise for a job well done, and all of the blame for mistakes, it’s a systemic reality that managers are placed in a work environment of constant pressure. Those above the manager shout down with often impossible expectations, and those below push up with grievances, placing the manager in the awkward position of being persistently squeezed by these two forces. Expected to solve all of a business’s problems, but given no autonomy or capacity to do so, it’s no wonder that so many management professionals report psychological problems at work and at home stemming from stress. Capital Choice Counselling’s management assistance program can help you face the particular stressors of your position

As a manager, everyone looks to you for the solution to problems. They internalize the unreasonable idea that you are all powerful, when the reality is you are quite the opposite. Those above put a tremendous burden of expectation on your shoulders and that of your team while ironically limiting your power to solve them. Those below protest, and see you as the source of their stress, often resenting your efforts to address the tasks provided by those above you. Nobody seems to recognize that you are not a problem-solving machine, but in fact a human with your own problems, and are being squeezed ever tighter in a systemic pincer with no way out. But don’t worry, because…
