Resilience
Resilience needs to be the word of the day. With so much change going on these days, you have to be like a palm tree and be able to flex in the wind without breaking. Keeping a positive outlook helps you focus on what you can do, not on what you can’t do.
People who have resilience build support systems around them to be able to handle difficult situations. They are willing to ask for help and have friends to call on in time of need. They develop relationships with others not for commiseration, but for support and ideas.
People who have resilience are flexible. In today’s world there are a lot more grays than black-and-whites. The more you see situations as “either/or” you become more frustrated and are less likely to be able to bounce back when things change. There are many ways to get things done. That means flexibility is a valuable trait for employees who have to maintain productivity in times of change.
Resilience may be one of the best survival skills of all to ensure you will be around for tomorrow.
