The impact of stress at work

- I was in a workshop recently with a woman…who's a senior leader in China for almost 70,000 people.…We were talking about, okay,…today everyone's just going to set your devices down,…close your laptops.…We're going to be here with each other.…And she said, "I can't."…And I said, "Yeah you can."…"Nope, I can't."…And she held her phone right here.…And we were all laughing and we made it light.…But I was teasing her, saying, "Come on.…

"Set it down, you can do it."…And what was interesting is…by the end of the day, she actually put the phone down…and got up and walked over to an exercise we were doing.…And we stopped the room.…We said, "Okay everybody, we have to celebrate this."…We hug her, clap for her.…It was a great moment for her.…Well, what's interesting…is her addiction to the device…wasn't about a boss reaching her.…It was about her wanting to be available for her people,…that if anyone needed her she'd be there.…So that level of responsibility…also creates a level of stress,…that you don't even feel like your people…
