Resilience at Work : Jonathan Cannon
Resilience is a complex and contextual concept that is challenging to define. It is often defined differently by individuals and organizations. Resilience can be seen as a behavior, a way of thinking, and a set of skills or competencies. It is necessary in various environments, including commercial, government, and high-stress professions. Gender differences in resilience exist but are influenced by biased definitions. Resilience training often focuses on external factors and solutions, neglecting the importance of recognizing internal changes and taking care of oneself. Extreme resilience can be toxic and lead to emotional and health issues. Finding the right balance of resilience is crucial for effectiveness, happiness, and overall well-being. The conversation explores the toxic culture and bullying that exists within healthcare organizations, perpetuated by a strong hierarchy. It delves into the emotional labor required of healthcare professionals and the need to adapt behaviors in high-pressure environments. The discussion also highlights the challenges faced by individuals with autism in camouflaging their true selves. The impact of high stress levels on decision making is examined, along with the importance of social support and connection. The conversation concludes with insights on building healthy resilience as a leader and developing personal resilience.
