As Dr. Selye explains, there is a difference between good stress and bad stress or distress and the mind is aware of the difference but the body is not and will experience wear and tear in any case. People do not experience stress in the same way. Somemanagers react promptly against and small incident while others are more tolerant and do not get disturbed. Stress is related to the goal- oriented activities of the individual. When some difficulty arises in this process, stress begins. The stressful experiences of any manager during daily work- life include frustration, anxiety and conflict.
