Organisations that have some healthy paranoia, where they're constantly looking for threats and opportunities become resilient. Adversity can come from unforeseen market conditions or from internal conditions.  But resilient organisations plan for those things. The more engaged the workforce is, the more resilient the organisation will be to overcome adversity.

Get the full lesson from Brent Gleeson for your business: https://bigthink.com/plus/ How is a boardroom like a battleground? Both spaces require communication, collaboration, and a high degree of mental toughness. In an article for Forbes, Gleeson wrote that his experience in combat gave him, “a highly valuable and applicable set of tools that translated well to entrepreneurship and leadership in business.” Of course, most people aren't fighting life-or-death battles at their desks every day – but they do face unique and complex challenges. On top of their normal job responsibilities, today's workforce is grappling with an ongoing global pandemic, political polarization, the effects of climate change, and the day-to-day stressors of balancing work and home life. In such uncertain and chaotic times, why are some employees able to thrive while others are barely scraping by? The difference often lies in their capacity to quickly recover from difficulties, a skill that can be taught in the workplace through resilience training.  See the full article on building resilience, here: https://bigthink.com/articles/resilience-training/ Follow Big Think+ -LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/big-think-plus -Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthinkplus -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bigthinkplus
