Building Healthy Resilience in Individuals and Organizations
Resilience, the ability to stay steady, focused, and productive when things get tough, is one of the best predictors of success in both work and life. Organizations want to hire and develop resilient employees who can handle intense external volatility and ever climbing workloads. Individuals may also seek ways to increase their ability to withstand the pressure when they start to feel the impacts of sustained stress. And building resilience is, largely, a worthwhile and achievable goal for both individuals and organizations. It can boost well-being, sustainability, and results. But you can have too much of a good thing. Evidence shows there's a limit to how helpful resilience can be. And sometimes being "too resilient" in the face of real problems does more harm than good. This talk will discuss what healthy resiliency looks like and how to foster it in people and organizations.
