Word of the Day: Resiliency

Business is tougher. Clients and bosses want more. Complexity is increasing daily. Things are changing all the time.

The result is more uncertainty. We don't have enough time or information to make the best decisions. Sometimes, we have to suboptimzie. We don't have much control over how decisions will be executed. Notice, I'm using the double edged word 'execute.' We have now less control over the inputs, process, and outputs of our decisions. Why? Most our outside our control.

The result is that more of us are feeling stressed and out of control. So, what's the solution?

Resiliency. That's my word of the day. It's a mindset to go with the flow. Don't be an oak that is uprooted in the winds of change. Be a willow that goes with the wind.

Much easier said than done. Many are us react to situations instead of being resilient to them. We want control. We want to know what's going on.

Well, even the top bosses can't control their destiny.

So, go with the flow, breathe deeply and remember the word of the day. Resiliency.
