You Recharge, Not How You Endure

Work hours in any company, and willingness do not exercise resilience. We can also drive ourselves into burnout if we are not careful about our mental health as workers and managers. In any company, long hours and willingness do not practice resilience. Additionally, if we are not careful on the mental-wellbeing front, we can easily burn out as workers and managers. (Fahey,2022 The concept of resilience is fundamentally misunderstood by working adults (Shawn Achor and Michelle Gielan, 2016).

Emotional intelligence is the catalyst that underpins the variety and forms of human mindsets and can be increased and decreased over a lifetime. Moreover, Achor and Gielan (2016) emphasize the importance of recovery to prevent lost productivity resulting from resilience. Leadership, management, mental health, emotional intelligence, all of which can be grouped under the school of thought of organizational development, are all areas of learning about resilience that humans continue to struggle with. (Fahey,2022) As a result of the current recession and cost of living crisis, the world will need to innovate quickly on resilience in organizational development.

In today's world and with daily job lists so high in the office and at home, even the most resilient performance coaches are discouraged by the very idea of exercising more resilience. (Fahey, 2022) In corporate America, burnout has become a very real concern for organization development, which is why it is important to be realistic about resilience. In times of burnout, our brains may struggle to improve resilience and behavioural improvement. (Fahey,2022)

A modern Rambo or even Rocky is the mindset we need in today's modern world according to the Hollywood concept of resilience. We all hit the wall of resilience, and no one is superhuman. Further, humans feel pain, and should reflect on these occurrences as they occur in order to defuse anxiety levels and strengthen mental health. (Fahey,2022)

The underlining factor to consider when trying to improve resilience is the recovery period. “The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to be resilient and successful.” (Achor and Gielan,2016)

Recovery is not a word that may resonate in organisational development and its presence in medical terms makes it more challenging to build a school of thought around when talking resilience in the workplace. However, the dangers of not thinking about recovery in times of work Organizational development may not resonate with the word recovery, and its presence in medical terms makes it more difficult to build a school of thought around resilience at work. In times of workplace stress, failing to think about recovery can actually result in a decline in performance. place situations can actually cause a stimulus of decline in organisational performance. According to Achor and Gielan (2016) the lack of recovery — whether by disrupting sleep with thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching our phones — is costing our companies $62 billion a year (that’s billion, not million) in lost productivity.

?In our own minds, have we all become workaholics? Were we to allow management to protrude our thoughts by telling you when and where you can work? A person's resilience then depends on whether they choose to work at the office in an attempt to build resilience from their home surroundings, or if they take the chance and return to the office more frequently – to determine if I should build resilience in a company culture that either fosters or inhibits my personal growth. Personal Professional Development also contributes to the sustainable resilience of employees around the globe. (Fahey,2022)

Although it would be difficult to measure the exact level of stress every employee is carrying in Corporate America, it's still a worthwhile research area. It would be useful for human resources practitioners to have access to more large datasets on the occurrence of Business Strategy success and overloading employees with work, for example, in order to increase their organisation's performance.

Nevertheless, I agree with Achor and Gielan (2016) that the number of American workers classified as workaholics or "workaholism" is alarming. Their new thesis on their study using a large corporate dataset from a major medical company to examine how technology extends, could provide business decision makers with new frameworks for resilience improvement models for organisational advancements.

There is a misconception about resilience and how it should be taught to our children. A greater emphasis needs to be placed on resilience under the efforts of emotional intelligence by education policy makers. This could be achieved by implementing school reforms across states that teach resilience skills deeply in a cognitive sense from Kindergarten to high school. By collaborating in this field, governments and educational leaders can solve the world's biggest problems just by being more resilient as a planet instead of a single enterprise." “(Fahey,2022) ?

In addition to the excellent work and recommendations of Shawn Achor and Michelle Gielan in the article – I would also encourage business decision makers to have a solid read of the world happiness report – and incorporate some of their findings into a new framework for organizational development to drive organisational performance in this pressing and confusing business environment of 2022.
