Stress and Success: Making the transition into leadership by far is the most stressful life event, according to Bridgeville, Pennsylvania-based Development Dimensions International. The global HR consulting firm near Pittsburgh recently asked leaders to rank a list of life’s most difficult challenges, and the increased responsibilities that come with being a leader topped the list, ahead of such upheavals as divorce, bereavement and moving. The findings come from interviews with about 800 U.S. and foreign business leaders of large corporations. Even so, this isn’t making people gun-shy. Most leaders polled say their promotions are worth the added pressure.
