"More than education, more than experience, more than training, a person's level of resilience will determine who succeeds and who fails. That's true in the cancer ward, it's true in the Olympics, and it's true in the boardroom."
In times like these, it is important for leaders to be resilient. Diane Coutu, author of "How Resilience Works", writes about importance of being resilient when confronted with life's hardships both at a personal and professional level.
Resilient people possess three characteristics:
1.Staunch acceptance of reality;
2.Deep belief, often buttressed by strongly held values, that life is meaningful; and
3.An uncanny ability to improvise.
You can bounce back from hardship with just one or two of these qualities, but you will only be truly resilient with all three. These three characteristics hold true for resilient organizations as well.
