With industry downturns, the accelerating pace of change and constantly evolving business practices, resiliency has become the golden child of business. No doubt a valuable quality in employees, should it be the end game of your organization?
Resiliency isn’t a never-ending spring employees can drink from to protect themselves. Even the most positive ones will eventually become drained, stressed and discouraged, harming them, their team and the company. The best organizations look past building mere resilient cultures to ones that inspire and energize employees. Yes, we all need to be prepared to be knocked around once in a while, but employees shouldn’t be stepping into the ring each day at work.
