As a leader, you bear a lot of responsibility, and this often creates a lot of pressure – through decisions, expectations, uncertainty… But true success does not come from how much you can endure, but from how consciously you direct your energy.
Stress is not the enemy. It signals a need for balance. If you learn to use it, it sharpens your priorities, protects your resources, and increases your leadership quality. It's about controlling it instead of letting it control you.
Start with short breaks: 2–5 minutes between meetings is enough. Delegate tasks to your team with confidence. This reduces your mental load. Set clear priorities every day and maintain your physical routine: exercise, sleep, and nutrition give you the stability your leadership needs.
When the pressure builds, ask yourself: Will this measure still be relevant in six months? How do you manage stress as a leader? Fight mode or balance?
