“One word is enough to a wise man.” This saying oftentimes is an expression commonly uttered by superiors to induce subordinates when they want certain tasks done at once. However there are superiors who could not initiate pressure even when they wanted things accomplished. At a certain circumstances however, it is advantageous to put pressure to employees. .

A study revealed that without the application of stress, people will not exert effort to reach their full potential. A superior should be able to do pre-evaluation using the available subordinate’s personal record to determine the psychological make-up of the person specially its tolerance level to stress when given certain tasks with deadlines. There is an optimal level of stress when properly applied to an individual that would result to favorable performance. The pressure can be put to use when the superior knows previously what kind of stress can yield productivity and which kind can be likewise damaging.

As an advice, superiors must not eliminate stress, but keep it only at a healthy and productive level. For most people, stresses such as accountability for quality of work and for some personal financial management have positive effect and they are not signs of weakness. Battling and overcoming them produces a feeling of pride, accomplishment and a positive experience.

A subordinate when receiving insufficient feedback from superiors, or being given inadequate information to complete a task would have a negative reaction on the pressure to accomplish the task. Using enough pressure to improve productivity is a matter of eliminating the negatives.

While convincing the boss might be something that is difficult to do, an arguably harder proposition might be convincing yourself. It is quite possible that you are a fan of Bloggy Biz and have been reading the last month’s worth of posts with an amused expression on your face because you do not seriously believe that telecommuting could ever be helpful in your situation.

Well, if this sounds like you, then you need to convince yourself that telecommuting is worthwhile. The best way to do this is to consider the alternatives. Driving to work is what created the financial mess in the first place, since your car is running on gasoline. Buying a scooter or a new car would be extremely expensive and even if you can afford it, the increased mileage would only put you back in this situation within a year or two. Carpooling can be difficult at times, for reasons that have already been covered before.

That only leaves you with two options. These two options are mass transit and telecommuting. Mass transit is a great idea, but most people in the world do not live in areas where mass transit even exists, let alone is good enough to get you where you need to go. And even those that do will acknowledge that mass transit does have days of too many people and too many delays. If you take a terrible mass transit system to work for a week, I’d be willing to bet that telecommuting will start to become a lot more attractive quickly.
