they need each other<\/em>.<\/p>\nTaking it out of the \u201cphysical\u201d and into the organizational, I can almost always predict who in an organization will adjust to change and who will encounter problems.<\/p>\n
In November 2012, Laura Quast wrote an engaging article for Forbes<\/em> on why people resist change. She listed 5 reasons: \u00a0fear of the unknown, mistrust, loss of control, bad timing, and every person\u2019s tolerance for change.<\/p>\nThe Resilience and Grit Equation<\/strong><\/p>\nTaking the five points above, I like to turn them around and look at them through the lens of my personal philosophy of Vision \u2013 Mindset \u2013 Grit. Why? Because I believe that no matter what change you are going through, with resilience and grit, you can accomplish far more than you ever thought possible.<\/p>\n
\n- Embracing<\/em> the unknown \u2013 Every great inventor, athlete, actor, CEO, sales person, artist, or most anyone who has risen to greatness did so because they embraced the unknown. They drowned out everything negative and had a vision of themselves as being successful, with the mindset of overcoming any challenge and the grit to fight it out.<\/li>\n
- Be <\/em>in control \u2013 No one can be in control one-hundred percent of the time, but we can develop the courage to be resilient no matter what is thrown at us. We can visualize taking that control and understanding we are stronger, tougher and braver than we think.<\/li>\n
- Faith <\/em>in the future \u2013 The resilient person is the one who has the vision and resilience to understand that things will work out IF the effort is made to use the daily grit to make it work.<\/li>\n
- Timing<\/em> is perfect \u2013 The person with resilience and grit understands that \u201cthings change\u201d and nothing stays the same. The drive to work changes, the shift from in-person work to virtual to hybrid, new machinery, executives, the organization itself changes. Do you have the vision of seeing yourself in a new role, a new office and even new co-workers? The timing could be perfect to allow yourself to stand-up and shine.<\/li>\n
- Tolerance for change<\/em> \u2013 Who has the tolerance for change? You do<\/em>. Who is resilient enough to adjust and thrive no matter the situation? You are<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
The resilient person understands that there is no substitute for grit. It may not be \u201cfancy\u201d day to day, but resilient, motivated employees are those who make organizations work and with purposeful grit, they elevate companies to greatness.<\/p>\n
