Stress Management
              The term ‘stress’ refers to a state of mental pressure or tension. When working with other people, it is common to feel
              stressed. Since there are people with varying personalities working in a team, it can cause stress for everyone. In such
              instances, stress management becomes critical for everyone's health and well-being. Stress management refers to the
              various methods of dealing with stress in order to feel healthy, cheerful, and refreshed.

              People cope up with stress in a variety of ways:
              •  Taking a walk in the park

              •  Participating in a physical activity such as running, swimming, etc.
              •  Deep breathing techniques
              •  Meditation or yoga

              Perseverance
              Perseverance is the capacity to keep going even when things are challenging. Let us understand it from the true story
              of Anuj Mundhra.

              Anuj Mundhra is the founder of Jaipurkurti.com, that manufactures and sells suits, kurtis, fusion wear, and a host of other
              apparel items. The B2C company even exports to countries such as the UK, US, Australia, Malaysia and a few others. Anuj
              started the business in 2012 with very limited resources and pooled in ` 50,000 from close friends and later took a loan
              from the bank to seed his business. Anuj began with ten sewing machines for sewing kurtis and suits. Vandana Mundra,
              his wife, would design kurtis, that were then coloured, printed, stitched, sampled, and so on in a manufacturing unit in
              Jaipur's Kartarpur Industrial Area. Anuj got listed on Snapdeal and Jabong and started selling in-house manufactured
              items on these platforms. In the first year itself, the company clocked a turnover of ` 59 lakh. Anuj claims that, while there
              was less competition in the early years, running an online company was a huge challenge.
              After reading Anuj’s story, you realise that perseverance can be built in the following ways:
              •  Never giving up when faced with a difficult situation

              •  Working hard to achieve your goal
              •  Learning from failures

              Valuing Service and Diversity
              A diverse workforce contains people from various backgrounds, experiences, and opinions. When a company embraces
              and fosters diversity, it may bring a number of benefits to the organization as a whole.
              The  wide  range  of  viewpoints  and  experiences  that  a  diverse  team  brings  to  the  table  is  one  of  the  most  evident
              benefits. As employees can approach challenges from numerous perspectives, this can lead to more original solutions
              and creative ideas. A diverse team can also result in improved problem-solving and decision-making since employees
              are more willing to consider all sides of an issue.

              A diverse workforce has the potential to boost employee engagement and job satisfaction. Employees are more likely
              to be motivated and productive when they feel valued and included. This can also result in a more stable staff which
              benefits the organization in terms of cost and consistency.

              Organisational Skills
              The capacity to make the best use of one’s time, energy, and resources to attain one’s goals is referred to as organisational
              skills. Improving these organisational skills helps an entrepreneur become successful. The following are examples of
              organisational skills:
