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f) Outdated culture.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.
Thanks,
