42 STRESS MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
It is clear that lessons on identifying and managing stress can be learned from anywhere in the world (see Chapter 3). It is also apparent from this that it is a universal problem and therefore certain to be a management and human concern in every sector and location.
The key points are:
» understanding and accepting that there is a problem;
» understanding the cultural, social, and ethical constraints within which activities have to take place; and
» devising managerial and supervisory styles and expertise capable of managing across cultures so that the problems of stress can be addressed and resolved wherever they occur, and whatever the circumstances.
