Summary

A textbook on organizational stress and well-being wouldn’t be complete without taking a closer look at the stress and well-being of organizational leaders. Leaders’ physical and psychological health can decline, partly due to the demands of their jobs. However, while the job demands of a leadership position are higher than those of other employees, leaders typically have more access to various types of resources. This provokes the question: Is it stressful at the top? Leaders nowadays generally work in work environments characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. However, (effective) leadership becomes even more relevant during times of crisis. This chapter therefore compares leader job demands in the non-crisis and the crisis contexts. The chapter concludes by giving some suggestions on how to cope with leaders’ job demands by looking at two potential strategies for leaders to use – mindfulness and the social identity approach.
