It’s Always Stressful at the Top

Corona Virus is causing many businesses leaders to face the biggest challenge in their careers and there is no easy solution nor is there likely to be one in the foreseeable future.

So we rely on government advice, our own good judgement and the judgement of other business leaders, many of whom have faced and dealt with huge problems in their own businesses and lives in the past, granted not necessarily on the scale of Corvid-19.

I overuse the term ‘no one has the monopoly on good ideas’ because it’s true. We can get through this crisis providing we work together to overcome the challenges this virus is presenting. It’s amazing how ambitious CEO’s working together in a non compete environment can find ways around and indeed solutions to what appear to be insurmountable problems. Stress comes with the territory in leading growing businesses but it’s how we deal with, and reduce stress that makes the difference. Being a member of a Peer Advisory Board is a great way to reduce the burden at the top, have a look at what we are doing at Pabasso.com, together we can make a difference.
