Ep 199 - Leadership Fundamentals (Part 3): Adaptability & Resilience

Episode 199

Leadership isn't always about setting big picture strategy and chairing Town Hall meetings: it's also about taking leadership micro-steps and getting the basics right. 

In today’s episode, we are talking about the fact that adaptability and emotional resilience will be some of the most vital skills leaders will need this decade.

We are talking about:

  • The core of adaptability: having clear and flexible expectations
  • Supporting yourself and your team emotionally through change
  • Learning how to be 'light on your feet' to pivot and adapt more readily
  • Making it psychologically safe for you and your team to have 'human' experiences like doubt or fear
  • And so much more...!


Something Rebecca said today:

" In her book The Gift of Change, Marianne Williamson says, “The speed of change today is faster than the human psyche seems able to handle” and talks to feelings of overwhelm as we reconcile our personal lives with everything else going on all around us such as non-stop technological advancements; a 24-hour news cycle (with ever more extreme stories); and the 24/7 demands too of social media. 21st century change is rapid. The question is: can humans keep up? Not just practically speaking, but emotionally too? And maybe, critically, does everyone want to?(Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
