Teams today are asked to do more and more with less and less. The demands on their time have only increased. And so has their uncertainty. That leads to a lot of stress, potential setbacks, and failures. Overcoming these obstacles requires building a resilient team.

And that starts with understanding what a makes a resilient team. Resilience isn’t toughness. Resilience isn’t about continuing to take punches. It’s not about bouncing back. It’s about the ability to bounce forward. Resilience is the ability to assess, adapt, recover, and grow from challenges.

In this episode, we’ll outline the four building blocks of resilient teams.

While it may at first seem like a linear process, growing a team’s resilience through these four building blocks is actually more simultaneous. Resilient leaders monitor how a team is doing on all four dimensions at once and make adjustments accordingly. But those little adjustments compound and grow, and the team’s resilience grows alongside it—which sets the team up to do its best work ever.
