Being at the top is stressful, or so we are told. After all, top executives have high-powered, demanding stressful roles, don’t they? Surely that is one reason why they earn the big bucks. In fact, research suggests otherwise.
LWomen who hold top executive positions are some of the least stressed in a company, while women in mid-level roles are more stressed than any of their colleagues.That’s according to a recent report from The Myers-Briggs company, which analyzed data from 1,182 women and 485 men relating to stress, gender and leadership.
Moderate stress is normal and has positive benefits. As stress levels ratchet up, however, our thinking can become clouded by negative emotion, and in these states, we can be prone to make poor decisions, as demonstrated by a 2017 study by Wemm and Wulfert.

What Does the Data Really Say About the MBTI?
A comprehensive counter to anti-MBTI hype.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality assessment instrument can be beneficial when used for its designed purpose. It’s not designed to predict performance—in fact, the theory behind the instrument pre-supposes that someone of any personality type is capable of performing well in any profession.

The Importance Of Switching Off: How To Manage Wellness In An Always-On Culture
The name of the Myers-Briggs Company may ring a bell for anyone who took Psychology 101 and learned about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a personality assessment that has been popular since the 1940s.
I once asked the leader of a struggling team: “What would happen if you treated your employees and colleagues the way you expect them to treat your customers?” For this leader, the way customers were to be treated was clear: with respect, a benefit-of-the-doubt stance, and, most important, how they want to be treated.
