This will not only allow one to cope with the onslaught of stress but also enable the mind to be energized and rejuvenated while emptying the negative emotions accumulated throughout the day, week etc. The body One of the most effective ways to improve mental and physical health is rest. People also produce their best results when they are relaxed and comfortable at their workplace. The first concept of rest in the corporate context is stability. Therein, lies an apparent paradox. To cope with the rapid changes, the company needs to change. Yet, in the quest for growth-inducing changes, the company needs to have rest and stability. It is the same with the human body. A company needs some amount of organizational slack or thinking time. Many companies focus on changes after changes except they forgot that the things that they are currently doing are just as important. As a result these companies went through fruitless diversifications and divestments. Finally they ended up losing focus or neglecting their core businesses because they did not protect their fortresses back home.

Times of stillness during rest facilitate a shift of focus from being immersion in one’s stressful environment to a more tranquil state of mind. This will not only allow one to cope with the onslaught of stress but also enable the mind to be energized and rejuvenated while emptying the negative emotions accumulated throughout the day, week etc. The body n

It needs time to relax, think and reflect back. But at the same time, the body needs to remain active in order to achieve optimal body functions and good health. One cannot remain inactive or passive indefinitely. Otherwise, prolonged periods of inactivity can result in the loss of mental lucidness and thereafter a steady decline in one’s body functions and health. It is found that people who retire and do not keep active, often die shortly.

This is why the turnaround manager has to master the art of preserving stability amidst change as well as spurring change during stability
