Top Executives: Under Pressure and Putting Pressure

Sylvie Roussillon and Jérôme Duval-Hamel

Chapter 19 in Handbook of Top Management Teams, 2010, pp 191-199 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Though many studies have been conducted on stress, very little work has been done on how and why it manifests itself in top executives. Our research shows that they share with their colleagues a denial of their own stress supported by a particularly well-developed capacity for resistance. What are the measures employed to manage their stress and what are the breaking points specific to this job? However, the main characteristic of executive stress is its stress-inducing impact on their teams and on the company.
