Resilience Leadership

Resilience Leadership

If you are a supervisor who wants your teams to perform well in adversity, you need to be a Resilience Leader. Resilient people perform well despite challenges and high stress. Resilient teams are adaptive, collaborative, and innovative. Resilient leaders achieve organizational goals, even when faced with overwhelming challenges.

To maintain a resilient organization that is ready for anything, leaders need to do more than focus on their own resilience; they must become Resilience Leaders. Resilience Leaders model behaviors that build resilience, and by doing so, encourage their employees to do the same. They recognize when employees are struggling and have supportive conversations that demonstrate that they care. They help employees find solutions and a path forward. Resilience Leaders actively foster their teams' resilience so that groups of employees become more capable than any one individual.
