Translate leadership psychological resilience into objectives each person can see themselves in.
Building Psychological Resilience to Withstand Leadership Pressure
Move leadership psychological resilience from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on leadership psychological resilience, which nobody trained them for. When this part of organisational leadership is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. The difficulty is not agreeing that the organisational leadership discipline matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of leadership psychological resilience and supervised application. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this aspect of organisational leadership is working and when it is only appearing to. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this part of organisational leadership, not around theory headings. It is written for people who have to make leadership psychological resilience work with the resources they already have. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the organisational leadership discipline that were visible long before the incident. The final session converts the week's work on the organisational leadership capability into commitments with owners and dates.
