Resilience: A fundamental skill in the professional environment
2024/08/08
The famous ‘take a deep breath’, ‘count to three’ and ‘focus on the solution’ are great descriptions for resilience, a skill you hear a lot about these days.In companies, after a long period of staff restructuring and increased competitiveness, the working environment has become highly stressful and resilience has become even more necessary. When we talk about behaviour, resilience means finding solutions by coping with highly stressful or traumatic situations. Resilience is a skill stimulated by an individual's lifestyle. The more we become aware of our reactions and behaviour in the face of pressure and challenges, the more we master these issues. Resilience is the ability of the leader, the team and the employee to promote the necessary transformations to achieve the proposed objectives. You are resilient when you thrive on change, are able to innovate and anticipate situations. Your influence as a resilient being has much more of a proactive, forward-looking impact. We live in a reality where economic crises and turbulence happen in ever shorter periods of time. Companies face daily challenges and, as a result, the leaders of these organisations are also under greater pressure. Entrepreneurs and leaders, in particular, live under challenging and pressure-filled demands. These professionals live in tense environments and operate in high-risk situations, where dealing with crises is an aspect of everyday life. They therefore need to be centred and able to cope with challenging situations with often negative outcomes. Persist, especially in difficult times, maintain hope, keep thinking positively and preserve your mental health. Become resilient! Resilient people become stronger because they develop self-confidence and the ability to deal with the unforeseen events and adversities of the corporate world. |
