The Quest for Resilience

Call it the resilience gap. The world is becoming turbulent faster than organizations are becoming resilient. The evidence is all around us. Big companies are failing more frequently. Of the 20 largest U.S. bankruptcies in the past two decades, ten occurred in the last two years. Corporate earnings are more erratic. Over the past four decades, year-to-year volatility in the earnings growth rate of S&P 500 companies has increased by nearly 50%—despite vigorous efforts to “manage” earnings. Performance slumps are proliferating. In each of the years from 1973 to 1977, an average of 37 Fortune 500 companies were entering or in the midst of a 50%, five-year decline in net income; from 1993 to 1997, smack in the middle of the longest economic boom in modern times, the average number of companies suffering through such an earnings contraction more than doubled, to 84 each year.

This first webinar in our WFCP – PIN series seeks to bring those lessons to the fore, through the stories of our members.

In particular, given the disruption and uncertainty brought about by covid-19, and the absence of a “playbook” for responding to the pandemic, what type of leadership worked best, and what are the implications of this for leadership development for the future – given that similar disruptions may well occur? How do post-secondary organisations ensure they are prepared for the next crisis?

When you mess up, get up: the power of failure in building resilience

When you mess up, get up: the power of failure in building resilience | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
Some Olympic moments are a timely reminder of the human capacity to bounce back in the face of challenge or failure. But why do some people wilt, while others seem to do over or go again?
Peter Mellow's insight:
This paper by Gary Hamel and Liisa Välikangas is one of the best I have read about the role of resilience in an organisation.
