{"product_id":"book-ega8","title":"The Stress Effect","description":" The ability to make sound and timely decisions is the mark of a  good leader. But when leaders with otherwise strong track records  suddenly begin making poor decisionsas seen in the recent  corporate scandals that rocked the business worldthe impact  can be widespread. In The Stress Effect, leadership expert  Henry L. Thompson argues that stress is often the real culprit  behind this leadership failure: when leaders stress levels  become sufficiently elevatedwhether in the boardroom or on  the front lines of daily businesstheir ability to  effectively use their emotional intelligence and cognitive ability  in tandem to make wise decisions is significantly impaired.   For example: An MIT study found something termed \"analysis  paralysis\" whereby people who were given too much information in  making stock decisions did not perform as well as people who  received less information.  When given too many options, our  brains become overloaded and we feel forced to pick an option which  might not be the best one for the situation.   Until now, experts have argued that increasing your emotional  intelligence will help you cope with and manage stress. This book  suggests that stress actually blocks access to your  emotional intelligence as well as your cognitive ability, two  critical components in the decision-making process. This book:    Shows how stress adversely affects the performance of even the  most savvy leaders  Reveals the truth about one of the prime factors behind the  current failure of leadership  Offers a solid prescription for building a stress  resilient system and arms leaders with best practices for  managing specific stressors that take the biggest toll on decision  making.    A groundbreaking and insightful resource for leaders, The  Stress Effect reopens the dialogue on stress, its effect on  decision making, and what to do about it.
