“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.”
While we all have some level of resilience, very few of us ever consider the need to develop resilience. Surely we’re strong enough, right?

According to the 2024 National Resilience Index Report, 9 in 10 people fall below the protective resilience threshold, making them more vulnerable to stress, anxiety, and mental health issues.
For leaders, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity.
Why Resilience Matters Now More Than Ever?
Resilience is not a luxury – it is a necessity.
Many thought moving past COVID-19 would be a relief, though ongoing challenges like economic disruptions, climate change, and geopolitical tensions have continued to remind us of the importance of resilience in helping individuals and communities cope with uncertainty and adversity.
The findings of the National Resilience Index are a wake-up call for all of us.
Whether it's formal training programs, creating meaningful connections, or prioritising our physical and mental health, we all have a role to play in creating the change needed.

1 个月It is a fascinating and informative article. Thank you! Air traffic controllers develop resilience in high-stress situations through training, environmental adjustments, support programs, and cognitive strategies. However, I am not sure about the leadership of ANSPs. In the volatile aviation industry, ANSPs face numerous challenges, including geopolitical instability, technological changes, and unforeseen crises such as pandemics or natural disasters. Building resilience within leadership and organisational structures is essential for successfully navigating these challenges. They have to work on it a lot!
