Abstract: Abstract Ever seen a CEO in distress? Of course. What is really interesting is how they cope. We do many things when stressed: phone a friend or pour a stiff G&T; go for a jog or pray; have a nap or go to bed. Some are healthier than others; some work better than others. And, over time, we tend to develop a preferred coping strategy, a subject that fascinated Anna Freud, daughter of the great Sigmund.
