Resilience can be understood as the ability to recover from setbacks, adapt well to change, and keep going in the face of adversity.  Developing team resilience is about attending to the team’s collective capacity for adaptation. Getting it right can be a real competitive advantage in challenging and pressurised business contexts.  When a team’s resilience has taken a knock, you will tend to see relationships worsen and trust reducing. You may see a lot less spontaneous communication and collaboration and there can be a loss of meaning and purpose, even if the vision and direction is clear. 

Part of our Personal Leadership Programme, this interactive half-day workshop combines research with practical tools and tips.

Change projects and programmes are a key element of organisational life, with leaders playing a key role in describing the desired new state and driving changes through in terms of processes, people and systems. Even what look like relatively simple changes can be met with fierce resistance and it can take a long time for benefits to be realised. Many leaders will focus the majority of their time and effort on the technical and logistical aspects of change and pay less attention to the psychological and cultural transition required during change. By understanding the psychological and cultural factors influencing change more deeply, leaders can greatly improve their impact.
