| Summary: |
Stress isundoubtedly one of the major work-related illness and is even more likely in times of economic uncertainty and downturn. Theauthors assess the psychological challenges created by instability and uncertainty and provide a survival toolkit that shows the reader how to combat stress in their own lives. 'Weinberg and Cooper show us how to fly high and stay centered while combating the challenging crosscurrents of environmental turbulence that cause stress.' -- James Campbell (Jim) Quick, John and Judy Goolsby Distinguished Professor, Goolsby Leadership Academy, The University of Texas at Arlington 'The so-called Credit-Crunch and the economic meltdown that followed has given us all extra reasons to be concerned about the mental wellbeing of the workforce. In this important book, Ashley Weinberg and Cary Cooper provide us with a lucid and candid map of the landscape of stress during this especially difficult period and, crucially, offer us a vital set of tools to help both individuals and organisations to boost resilience when we most need it.' -- Stephen Bevan, Director of the Workforce Effectiveness Centre, The Work Foundation 'For the wilderness of economic uncertainty, Weinberg and Cooper have not only created the ultimate field guide to the pressures and pitfalls awaiting the unwary traveller; they've also charted a route map for navigating these treacherous psychological backwoods in one piece. Priceless.' -- David Fairhurst, Chief People Officer for McDonald's Europe Ltd, and HR Magazine's HR Director of the Year 'Full of useful common sense for dealing with turbulent times in the workplace.' -- Oliver James, author of 'Affluenza'. |
