Staying focused
For leaders with high levels of resilience, focus has consistently been one of their top skills. Our focus, or attention span, has been disrupted in a world where sleep deprivation and digital invasion are commonplace. The typical adult adjusts their focus every three minutes, while a typical adolescent does it every 18 to 19 seconds. It is therefore important to keep one’s focus.
Possess emotional intelligence
As a leader, you must model the transformation you wish to see in the . Emotions are contagious, and if they are allowed to run wild, they may swiftly destabilize a team. An angry, fearful, or distressed leader sends the message to the team that the situation is unsafe.
Emphasize relaxation
In today’s workplace, perfectionism, self-criticism, anxiety, and performance pressure combine to produce discomfort symptoms. The parasympathetic nervous system is activated during relaxation, promoting peace, connection, and attention. Modern leaders should demonstrate the value of punctuating each day with periods of intense rest and recovery while also emphasizing it.
Ensure others’ fulfillment
One of the main reasons for this dissatisfaction is that conventional leadership does not create an environment for personal happiness and fulfillment. Organizations that clearly articulate their purpose and consider the impact of business on all stakeholders are more likely to build a mission-driven, fulfilled workforce.
Optimistic personality
Resilient leaders anticipate a better tomorrow. Their faith in goodness spreads quickly. When things go rough, resilient leaders know how to turn up the optimism. By directing the brain’s attention to something uplifting, upbeat, and optimistic, positive thoughts help soothe anxieties and irrational thinking. Resilient leaders use this skill every day.
