How can you cultivate resilience in your leadership style?

Your strength defines your resilience. Make a list of your strengths and weaknesses. Try to convert your weaknesses into strengths by focusing on things you need to work on or have been ignoring for a long time.

I prioritize self-care, drawing from Ayurvedic practices to maintain physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By fostering a culture of well-being within the team, I empower individuals to navigate challenges effectively. Continuous communication, acknowledging strengths, and providing support contribute to a resilient team. Leadership, in my context, embraces Ayurveda's holistic philosophy, ensuring not just professional success but also the overall health and resilience of individuals within the team.

Problem-solving and Decision-making skills are the pivotal skills needed for a leader. This makes us distinct from other team members, and along with this, crisis management and leading the group are also involved. Opting the best possible way of handling an issue is deciding how efficient the team leader is. Also, should be capable of giving proper tasks to the proper team members and able to get the work on time from the team members by giving proper guidance.

Try creating a daily practice of both mindfulness and gratitude. Start by picking a time you can consistently dedicate 10 minutes daily and then put an alarm on your phone. Spend the first 5 minutes practicing a mindfulness activity of your choosing (Google Mindfulness Activities and find one you like). When your 5 minute mindfulness activity is up practice 5 minutes of gratitude. Pick three things you are grateful for but when reviewing each thing tell yourself ‘why’ you’re grateful. The ‘why’ is what imprints it on your heart and mind. You can use the same three items daily or pick new ones. When you start getting good at it try finding the silver lining in some recent challenge. Try this for 2 weeks, I bet you notice a difference.

Burnout is the common term used to indicate the most exhausting situation. One who can prevent getting burned out or prevent oneself from getting stressed can lead a team in a better way, the leader should not be a stress-giving person. Stress can be positive or negative stress, positive stress can be helpful to achieve things not Negative. By Practicing self-care and wellness one can achieve mental wellness and could transmit positivity to the team members rather than putting them as well in a stressful stage.

As a leader, it is important to attend to self-care by understanding that to lead is to be the best version of yourself. It's one thing to speak words that make an impact and it's quite another to live an impactful life and lead by being a role model for whatever expectations one has of another. This is the only way to gain authentic respect from subordinates and colleagues.

Life experience is the greatest teacher; even a person with rich bookish knowledge but lacking life experience could not shine as a leader. Take lessons from the negative experience, remind yourself that reaching positive results in the past will be the best option to lead a team most efficiently, and compare or evaluate the situation with previous experiences.. This might be the main reason behind for internship and training before starting anew career.

Having meaning and purpose in life including work is a key trait of resilience. A leader plays a pivotal role in ensuring that all team members within the business all feel they have these attributes. Leaders are also pivotal in creating a positive culture within the organisation to ensure they lead with compassion, empathy and do not dwell on recrimination after setbacks.
