Resilience is a word often matched with being tough and sticking with something no matter how hard it gets. Resilience can also refer to dealing with rough times in one’s life and making it through those times. According to Lester, Vogelgesang Lester, & Saboe (2018), resilience is the ability to bounce back in the face of adversity and despair; being able to thrive amid difficult and austere conditions. In the workplace, a component of leadership includes searching for results and not so much the problem. If an organization exemplifies resilience, they can prove they are willing to withstand the hard times and show action in the results of their productivity. The solution is what counts. Resilience is about the solution of how the organization projects after the incident and not during it (Lester, Vogelgesang Lester, & Saboe, 2018). Being able to get to the results the organization seeks means the employees must become resilient. How can you start to motivate resilience in your workplace?
