When adversity or crisis strikes, the exposure to us as individual leaders, and to our organizations and the communities we serve is high. Healthcare is replete with disruption, and specific challenges occasionally arise that stress our processes and systems even more than usual. When we experience disruption, our innate individual and organizational tendency is to “return to normal.” But progressive, high-performing organizations leverage disruption for growth and progress.

Resilience is defined in several unique ways. In some models, it is viewed as the ability to rebound from unexpected, stressful or adverse situations and to pick up where one left off. In others, the perspective includes restoration plus the development of new capabilities, expanded abilities and the creation of new opportunities. Either way, it is a vital characteristic of effective executives and reliable organizations. Resilience doesn’t ensure that negative circumstances won’t occur, but it does proactively prepare you to more successfully traverse the storm, both individually and organizationally.  

Just as individuals can learn to develop traits of resilience, organizations can develop a culture of resilience. An investment in this form of “psychological immunity,” or ability to rebound from the untoward effects of adversity, is key to not only surviving such events but also ensuring sustained high-level performance. 

Learning Objectives:

• Acquire tools and resources to increase your resilience, adaptability and leadership response in times of stress, adversity and change. 
• Develop an action plan to apply learnings in order to achieve meaningful performance outcomes, both individually and organizationally.  

Who Should Participate:

Healthcare executives at all levels.
