Resiliency is not limited to the large-scale organization delivering innovation in the world, but also includes the individual on the team devoted to a job well done. Understanding the anatomy of resiliency supports the organization at all levels. Knowing that anatomy means recovering in times of challenge, stress, and crisis with precision and accuracy relevant to the situations at hand.
According to Harvard Business Review, there are three key characteristics to resilience for individuals and organizations alike. Each is an essential ingredient of a resilient recovery plan.
1. A Staunch Acceptance of Reality
When it comes to reality, there are both things in and out of our control. Acknowledging existence is choosing to clarify control and furthermore exploring its possibilities.
2. A Deep Belief, Often Buttressed by Strongly Held Values, that Life is Meaningful
Those who find meaning and value-driven fulfillment in what they are doing are resilient. Values are at the heart of every good business. Knowing and operating from deeply held values make for powerfully informed decision-making. Furthermore, studies show that values are positively correlated to employee retention.
3. An Uncanny Ability to Improvise
In an inevitably ever-changing world, agility and adaptability are the way of life; without such, things become stagnant, stale, and die. Knowing what is most supportive during times of stress, change, and challenge underpins one's ability to improvise. Without that knowledge, one cannot recover, retain, or maintain; therefore, one cannot grow.
