I want to know about stress management training program for high-level managers like CEOs, plant heads, VPs, branch heads. Also, I want to know the various reasons for stress at this level. I want to know what exactly the training program should include, what kind of methodology could be used, should it be residential, what should be the duration of such programs, and the content for such programs.

Dear Mr. Walunjkar,
Training program on stress management for the senior management is quite important. Your focus should be on the usage of stress relievers. However, this level plays an important role in reducing their own stress in particular and the stress of others in general.
Generally, stress management training includes yoga techniques. But yoga is not required because stress is a result of not just personal factors but organizational factors as well.
This level should concentrate on the eradication of the organizational factors that cause stress. These organizational factors are:
a) Politicking at the top level
b) Lack of organizational discipline
c) Lack of processes for the departments
d) Lack of staff training. Incompatible staff for the jobs
e) Lack of proper recruitment standards
f) Outdated culture. The organization looks backward rather than forward
g) Organization more reactive rather than proactive
h) Reality manages them rather than they manage reality
The list will go on and on. No amount of yoga techniques will help in relieving stress if the above factors continue to subsist in the organization.
You can start with the training on the 7 Habits (of Stephen Covey). Let their staff do the audit of their bosses to determine whether they possess these 7 habits. If these bosses inculcate these 7 habits, half of the battle is over. Then come back to the points mentioned above from (a) to (h).
If you want training on Stress Management, you may approach me. I have attached my Training e-Brochure to this post. You may note that my last program on stress management had generated a business idea that could save the company Rs 1 Crore. Please click here to read my that post.

Hi,
Such a program should preferably be residential, in the hills, where there is no mobile signal. The program duration should be 2-3 days excluding travel time. It can include meditation, stress management talks, discussions, yoga, massage, etc.
Thank you.

Dear Riyaz,
You have written that "Such program should be preferably residential, in the hills, where there is no mobile signal. Program duration should be 2-3 days excluding travel time. Can include - meditation - stress management talks - discussion - yoga - massage etc."
I strongly beg to differ with you. Do you have an example wherein top management did all this and after a while their stress was reduced, and it resulted in their increased productivity? Did the increased productivity translate into increased profits?
What solution you have given is ephemeral and not a lasting one. I would like to stick to my gun (stick to my views in my previous post).
"Remember one thing: If the water in the pot is boiling, then to reduce the temperature of the water, you can put ice cubes in it, but the permanent solution is to locate the knob and put the fire off!"
Ok...

Thanks, Dinesh, and all other responders for your contributions. Dinesh has hit the nail on the head, as the saying goes. However, I would not have given any solution without raising questions. For example, I would like to know from Walunjkar, who is he/she? What does he/she do? And why is he/she interested in the topic? It could be a student on some management course who has raised the question and may not be in a position to engage any of the consultants.
Have a lovely day.

Hi Dinesh,
I don't see what has triggered this outburst from you. Why do people go for holidays to different places? Because a change of location creates a change of thought process. The very fact that you travel outside your workplace gives you a chance to think differently, a change in perspective.
Mobile connectivity is a boon and a bane. So when you are cut off from the thousands of messages, you can think about other things. Whatever program you plan to conduct at the company's meeting room can have a better impact if it is done at a different venue. The hills are my personal preference. I am not trying to sell any outbound package here, since I don't have any. Neither am I trying to distract anyone from your ideas/proposals, which are also fine.
This is a discussion and not an argument. Since you are an experienced trainer, I feel you should keep your mind open to ideas that might ultimately benefit you.
Best wishes

Hi,
I agree with Riyaz. The top management should plan for these sessions in some outskirts for 2-3 days, preferably in some hill station or resorts where they are out of reach of the world. Trainings for them shouldn't be just the bookish learning activity of sitting in a closed conference room. Usually, these kinds of trainings involve learning activities along with outdoor games, meditation, yoga, etc.
Thanks, Munmun Bhoir.

Dear Munmun and Riyaz,
I am writing to you in connection with the above post.
What both of you have suggested is to cure the symptom and not the cause. Stress is output and not input. Stress is a result of organizational ills, and unless you cure those ills, one cannot get rid of the stress.
Since the originator post had asked stress management program for the top management, I suggested curing the organizational ills first and then going for curing the symptoms.
For Riyaz: My reply to you was not an outburst per se. Just a couple of days ago, I met my friend who is now a VP. Just a couple of months ago, he was a GM, and his company, a Public Limited company, had called an outbound training specialist from Mumbai. Training for all the VPs was conducted at the resort owned by the company. The outbound specialist conducted outbound games from 07:30 am to 21:00 pm. In one of the games, he made the participants walk on the fire also!
All the participants went gaga over the training. But none, including the VP (HR), thought of the ROI on the training. Within just 2-3 weeks, things were back to square one.
As an HR or Training professional, my request is to diagnose the organizational disease correctly. After diagnosing, we need to offer the correct solution as well. To shoot from the hip, one need not be a manager, leave aside being an HR Manager!
My dear Syed, you have suggested me to be open-minded. Yes, I will accept anything and everything but with proper evidence. Neither you nor Munmun have given evidence of what you have proposed. However, what I have said is a deduction out of past experience and not surmise.
Thanks,

Dear Riyaz,
You are right, and this is one of the ways to create ambiance to combat stress. Don't feel hurt. At times, even doctors fall sick, and not only top management but trainers too might need stress management.

Dear all,
It's a humble request from a non-HR member. We should not be responding to members by criticizing them or their views in public. Instead, send them private messages.
I have found Dinesh usually posts very sound advice. Even in this case, he has done the same. It's easy to give medicine to cure a symptom, but it won't cure the disease. I knew a person suffering from itch all over. The doctor prescribed some creams to apply. However, only when the patient changed her diet to eliminate some food that she was allergic to, the itching stopped.
Also, when giving advice, it would be useful if we give our background and credentials; other bloggers can assess on what basis we are making suggestions. For example, I clearly state that I am no HR expert and I am a retired academic. However, I search the web and give opinions based on evidence gathered. For example, see http://stressfocus.com <link updated to site home> to see the amount of work involved in conducting EFFECTIVE STRESS MANAGEMENT TRAINING. This was found at Google.
Have a lovely day.

Friends,
Hope this presentation will be useful for managing stress through emotional intelligence. Managing self and others is called emotional intelligence, where you will overcome stress. We need to get things under our control, rather than allowing stress to influence us.

Stress Management Technique
Taking deep breaths and counting is a popular stress management technique. In this particular one, my variation is to be conscious of my breath. Whenever I feel stressed, I excuse myself if I am in the company of others and walk away. While walking away to the washroom, for example, I concentrate on my breath touching the tip of my upper lip. I consciously slow my breath down while concentrating on it. This practice helps take the negative thoughts out of my mind.

Both Riyaz and Dinesh are right in their perspective, but what needs to be learned is that all methods are correct, whether you implement them outside or within the company. It requires a strong will to change. The stress is caused because you are unable to solve it and always thinking about how to do it. In that process, things get piled up, and then it explodes. Therefore, it is better that senior managers should have a clear understanding of 'what', 'how', and 'when'. If he is stressed, how can he control others? A certain amount of stress is necessary for action. His position demands things other than stress. However, being stressed cannot be denied, but one should prioritize.
