The concept of Resilience is one whose purchase has increased exponentially in Leadership circles over the past few decades. We preach its virtues and benefits with increasing zeal and seek out practices that will instil in us the necessary skills to overcome and bounce back from adversity. But what if we have so totally misunderstood resilience as to render it nothing more than a myth - an unattainable holy grail that, in fact, can do more harm than good?
Paul has been reading (always a fraught activity in his hands) and has been struck by the possibility his entire conception of resilience has fallen prey to the myth. As KG listens patiently, they both try and wrestle with the possibility that they have been too narrow in their thinking and that resilience may be so much more. How might this change how we think about leadership?
