Secrets Of The Most Resilient People

Secrets Of The Most Resilient People | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From www.fastcompany.com - October 30, 2017 5:23 PM

Some people just seem to bounce back from whatever life throws at them. Whether it’s illness, loss, or tragedy, they do the tough work of picking themselves up, dusting themselves off, and carrying on—even when it seems impossible.

 

If you’ve ever thought, “I could never do that” when looking at one of these apparent “superheroes,” don’t be so sure. It’s actually possible to build resilience to make yourself better able to bounce back from even the most difficult times.

 

“It’s the ability to get back in the game after you’ve had some sort of failure. And indeed, we can learn to become more resilient,” says social scientist and leadership expert Frank Niles, PhD. Niles says there are a number of science-backed areas people can address to help them be more resilient.

 

Here are some ways you can shore up your “resilience bunker” to better prepare for when tough times strike.

Failing is the key to success.
CCM Consultancy's curator insight, November 12, 2017 12:35 AM

Several studies showed  having a sense of purpose beyond your occupation or everyday role  plays a big role in resilience.

It takes "resilient leaders" to guide your organisation through difficult times. They're the leaders able to remain strong in the face of uncertainty, frequent setbacks and new challenges. Able to lead with calm, clarity and conviction amidst increasing complexity and accelerating change. How? They connect with a greater purpose.

Still Feel Unsuccessful? A New Stanford Study Says That's Probably a Good Sign

Still Feel Unsuccessful? A New Stanford Study Says That's Probably a Good Sign | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - March 3, 2017 3:43 PM

Are you one of the never satisfied strivers?

 

The type of person who, despite having some obvious successes in life--a solid career, a modicum of financial security, the respect of your peers--just never feels like you've quite made it?

 

Are you always a little worried you could be accomplishing more?

 

If so, you probably feel kind of crummy sometimes compared to your more easily contented competitors, but according to new research out of Stanford, all your ambition has a serious upside (hat tip to Science of Us for the pointer).

Perpetually feeling like you're a bit unsuccessful, it turns out, is a pretty good sign you're going to go on to achieve even greater things.

Feeling like you have something to prove keeps you fighting, new Stanford research shows.

Feeling unsuccessful might be good after all! A New Stanford study suggests that it is better to feel unsuccessful at times, rather than feel successful and satiated at times. Complacency and satisfaction might be obstacles to progress. What we need for constant progress is hunger. Hunger is the key to success. Organisations introduce disruption for the very fact that stagnancy and fixed routines might spawn laziness.

Comparisons are debilitating. There is always someone else who appears smarter, dumber, prettier, uglier, faster, slower etc. than us. This study shows once again the best way to fulfilment is through learning to be the best we can be.

6 Things You Must Have In Your LinkedIn Profile

6 Things You Must Have In Your LinkedIn Profile | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From www.forbes.com - March 29, 2017 8:12 PM

LinkedIn, once your online resume, has morphed into your opportunity to introduce yourself to others and attract the attention of those who need to know you. However, mindsets are slow to shift, and those who still consider LinkedIn nothing more than a digital resume are missing out on some of the biggest opportunities LinkedIn has ever offered. In a world that is becoming more virtual, with remote work becoming the norm, LinkedIn often delivers your first impression. To make sure you come across as the wildly interesting, compelling, and accomplished person you are, focus on the following six elements of your profile.

The New Formula for Progress in the Business World

The New Formula for Progress in the Business World | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - September 15, 2015 7:48 PM

Einstein's famous theory of relativity (E=MC2) celebrates its 110th anniversary this year. This elegant formula helped us understand how the world works and has impacted scientists and philosophers alike.

 

The business world has its own formulas for success. Hard work dedication = results. Power = money influence. Big > Small. Fast > Slow. Fancy degree time = corner office.

 

The thing is, the world has changed. The old rules of business no longer carry the day as we cope with fist-fighting competition, mind-numbing speed, and exponential complexity. Add in macro trends such as global markets, digitization, cloud computing, millennial workforce shifts, mobile technology, and geopolitical turmoil, and you're wrestling a whole new beast. One that can't be conquered with some long-expired formula.

If you're not actively prioritizing learning, you may be unknowingly falling behind. Near-term competitive advantages come and go, but the learning organization wins in the long run. Push yourself and your team to learn more and learn fast. Set learning objectives. Recap and share lessons learned. Experiment, measure, refine.
senameintr's curator insight, September 16, 2015 12:10 AM

Learning is an endless process. You will achieve results as much as your input.
