Resilient Communities
The challenges of a rapidly changing business environment The VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world is taking its toll on organisations, with leaders and their people facing relentless change.
A paradigm shift is needed from ‘team’, that suggests only the best are chosen and competition is key, to ‘community’ where shared values and collaboration are the foundations upon which people flourish.
Community resilience is a measure of the sustained ability of leaders to utilize the available resources and collective intelligence of the organisation in order to respond, withstand, and recover from adverse situations and setbacks. This begins at the individual level through to leadership.
Why are people disengaged and disheartened?
Change fatigue
Presenteeism: people are showing up for work but not able to be fully productive and present, feeling emotionally drained, mentally distracted and physically depleted.
Uncertainty
Job insecurity: people less likely to take risk due to fear of retribution and failure, operating in an environment of threat and fear.
Always on culture
Technology: People dedicated to the job, feeling responsible with leaders expecting immediate answers, driving always on culture.
Overwhelm
Feelings of incompetency: Skill is no longer enough to match the increasing demands and challenges.People trying to do more with less and no bandwith left.
