Twice in the same day last week I had conversations with people who are feeling frustrated with their experience of the organisation we all work for. I too was feeling frustrated – so that was three of us. Now I'm wondering whether there is a pattern of organisational frustration or even 'a culture of frustration'. Obviously three experiences in one day are not much to go on as a representative sample but I decided to explore the topic a bit. Googling (what else) various combinations of 'frustration/organ isations/behaviour' was quite fun. I found a whole academic Journal of Emotional Abuse and in it an article Organizational Frustration and Aggressive Behaviors. So that was a reasonable start point though I'm not sure any of us are going to go down the aggressive behaviours route.
But if we think we might be heading towards aggression, and depending on how aggressive we feel, we can take a look at 3 Easy Ways to Cope With Frustration (with Pictures), 4 Tips to Deal With Frustrating People , Frustration - 8 Ways to Deal With It, 10 Tips To Overcome Frustration!, or if we're feeling extra-high levels of aggression coming on and are also really keen on handling it we can try 33 Ways To Overcome Frustration .
