Overview: Workplace stress is not the weakness of individuals; it’s caused by systemic problems. Armed with the insights in this book, you can identify, analyze, and systematically reduce the factors that lead to poor health, low productivity, and personal burnout. This book gives you a framework for understanding stress, and a vocabulary to make it easier to discuss it among colleagues. Stress can be fixed; find out how. The interviewer asks, “How well do you cope with stress?” Your response should be, “Let’s fix your environment so we don’t have to.” Work-related stress is one of the leading causes of mental illness among white-collar workers. It hurts companies, projects, and (most importantly) people! Stress is a burden that’s created when teams stop working well. The Stress Equation is a model and a tool to help talk about stress as a systemic issue. By exploring how pressure, complexity, and security interact in software teams, we move focus away from the individual, so that we can talk about stress from a team and organizational perspective. By exploring external factors, we discuss how to solve problems rather than cope with the consequences. The book is aimed at team leads, Scrum Masters, managers, and other leadership roles. Since it’s meant as a tool for continuous improvement, it’s important that management is onboard and willing to commit. Otherwise, improvement is likely to stagnate, never spreading beyond limited portions of an organization.
