What Individuals Can Do to Build Their Resilience

Abstract

There is much that people managers and organizations can do to support and sustain individual resilience, as we shall see in later chapters. Ultimately, however, every person has a unique pattern of resilience that they have built up over the years, and that they bring with them into all situations, including work. Building resilience is, therefore, primarily an individual endeavor for which everyone needs to take personal responsibility. Those who succeed in raising their resilience to the next level will experience enduring benefits in all aspects of their lives.
