Defusing the stakes in peak pressure moments
- Ask yourself what is not at stake. For example, your family will still wait for you at home, regardless of how the presentation to the board goes.
- Avoid the anxiety spiral. Leaders tend to exaggerate the stakes in peak pressure moments. "I'm not good enough to do this." Instead, find evidence for the stakes you associate with the challenge.
- Give up ego-driven stakes. You can only own how you acquit yourself. All the other things such as share price, revenue, profits are only partly within your control.
- Gauge what is really urgent.
