Resilience and adaptability. In this time of perpetual change, I can't think of a better, more universal message. "To be resilient and adaptable, leaders and employees need a mix of skills. Resilience requires—among other things—the ability to view change as a challenge or an opportunity to bounce forward, regulate thoughts and emotions, take lessons from prior experiences, and execute on change. Adaptability requires, among other things, the ability to approach uncertainty with an open, learning mindset and to think flexibly and creatively about problems as they arise. When leaders and employees have both sets of skills, they can (like Steph Curry) better discern when a focus on resilience will be enough, when an adaptive response is required, and how to integrate the two into their strategies, operations, and decision making." #changemanagement #people #leadership #mentoring #psychologicalsafety

Achieving #resilience and #adaptability at individual and organizational levels is easier said than done, however. #Human beings have a natural affinity for order, #predictability, and #control. They will do everything they can to avoid chaos, uncertainty, and volatility. McKinsey & Company research shows that when the path forward is unclear, and time and performance pressures are the same (or increasing), teams and individuals often default to what they already know—regardless of whether that approach is appropriate for the given situation.

In today's fast-paced world, organizations face constant shifts in technology, markets, and work dynamics. Building resilience and adaptability within the workforce is essential. One key takeaway from this insightful McKinsey article is the power of communities to drive these qualities. When employees connect through shared goals, support networks, and collaborative learning, they can navigate uncertainty with confidence and agility. By fostering strong communities, we create environments where individuals and teams thrive, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth.

At a time of increasing volatility in business, two qualities are key to success: #resilience and #adaptability. There are four actions leaders can take in order to build these qualities in themselves and their workforces. #leadership #changemanagement https://smpl.is/9yce6

Volatility and a generally accelerated pace of change have increasingly become the norm. How can we develop a resilient and adaptable workforce to face this uncertain future? https://bit.ly/3Ccm8mZ #leadership #resilience #change

"It’s unprecedented. To successfully move their business strategies forward in this environment, 21st-century leaders need an engaged and innovative workforce that can change course quickly, effectively, and fluidly. Employees must be open to developing new capabilities, adopting new norms, and reconsidering long-held mindsets and behaviours. Leaders must be willing to do the same."

Great share Louise. Some top insights here!

As we settle into the new year, I'm thinking about my priorities for the year ahead, part of my reflection is always inwards on myself and how I can continually grow and develop as a leader, I came across this article which resonated with me. The statistics are eye-opening: only 23% of employees feel equipped to handle both resilience AND adaptability in today's ever changing business environment. Yet those who master both are 3.8x more likely to demonstrate innovative behaviors at work. This McKinsey article highlights how 21st-century leaders need to develop these "twin" capabilities - not just for themselves, but across the entire organization. The Stephen Curry (Basketball legend) example highlights this: "Sometimes you need resilience (keep shooting those threes despite missing), and sometimes you need adaptability (completely changing your game when the rules change). The real skill is knowing when to pivot and which approach to use when. Four key takeaways for leaders that stuck with me to prioritise: ⭐ Set a North Star that gives your team stability amid change ⭐ Build psychological safety build a "true community" ⭐ Model both resilience and adaptability yourself ⭐ Encourage team-based learning (its more effective) The closing thought struck me: When electricity replaced steam power, it took 30 years for companies to adapt and see productivity gains. In today's world, we don't have that kind of time. I'd love understand what strategies you have found effective for building resilience and adaptability in your teams? #Leadership #OrganizationalChange #Innovation #FutureOfWork #Team #Community
