HOW TO BUILD A RESILIENT ORGANISATION
1 COLLECTIVE SENSE-MAKING Engage with your peers and subordinates to take stock of opportunities and threats. This will enable you to identify opportunities or areas of strength that can be leveraged to facilitate growth. Additionally, it will help you pinpoint areas of weakness that can be mitigated or remedied at the earliest opportunity.
2 COMMUNICATE OFTEN Your employees play a vital role in your efforts to achieve organisational resilience. Therefore, you must communicate with them openly and frequently about what you want to achieve and the rationale behind your organisational resilience goals.
3 EMPOWER YOUR EMPLOYEES In a traditional organisational hierarchy, the leaders are tasked with problem-solving and decision-making processes. However, resilient organisations have trained and entrusted these responsibilities to all levels in their organisational hierarchy, empowering every team member to engage in the process of becoming a resilient organisation.
4 NEVER STOP LEARNING The learning mindset is a critical element of a resilient organisation. If you want your team to become more resilient, you must routinely give feedback to encourage reflection and out-of-the-box thinking. At the same time, it helps transform insights into actions so that whatever is learned is not just kept at a theoretical level but applied practically and shared across the organisation.
5 INSPIRE WITH YOUR NARRATIVES OF RESILIENCE Draw on your personal/professional stories and experiences to inspire and motivate your team. As a business leader, your team looks up to you for guidance. By talking about your personal/professional stories of adversity and resilience, you can set an example for them to follow.
6 READY FOR THE NEXT STEP? How resilient is your organisation? Understanding the benefits of organisational resilience is the first step towards transforming the leadership culture in your organisation. However, this important quality is something that leaders should embrace and strive to embed within every facet of the organisation and its people.
