Understanding Resilience
Resilience is mainly about making a conscious effort to transform potentially adverse events into challenges that arouse us to overcome them, without any residual feeling of distress.
The more threatening the challenge appears to you, the more you need to be resilient.
Resilience is a choice
Resilience is a choice. You can decide to be resilient or not, depending on the answer to the question ‘what’s in it for me?’ - a question you pose yourself consciously or unconsciously every time you come across a challenging event or difficult behaviour.
Many organisations see personal resilience as a panacea for dealing with the turbulence of organisational life. It isn’t. Resilience can only go so far.
Achieving Peak Performance
To achieve peak performance, managers and organisations must endeavour to prevent the events and poor behaviours that may trigger the need for resilience, and provoke positive attitudes within the workforce towards work, their manager and the organisation.
Taking a lead is a development programme for all levels of leaders. It is available as a workshop style programme and is available as a MAS Publication.
