The main issue is learning how to deal with the pressure in order to ensure that you are making the right moves for yourself and the company.
While some may argue, very few people actually perform better under pressure. Experts agree that the physical and chemical changes that occur within the body has the opposite effect, clouding judgment and hampering their ability to properly analyze a situation and make sound decisions.
