ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION
Hope as a Strategy: Leading With Resilience
Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. Sustainability is about survival. The goal of resilience is to thrive.
– Jamais Cascio
Over the last year, organizations have experienced severe stress and trauma in responding to the events of our global environment. In this roundtable, Leader Coach Sabrina Hebeler shared a four frame approach adapted from Bolman and Deal to navigate through organizational trauma and tips to treat the root cause.
In the roundtable and the discussion groups, Sabrina challenged leaders to think about stress levels and trauma experienced within their organization and discuss how to use hope as a strategy to lead with resilience and implement tactics to cope:
-
After reviewing the presentation, what signs of organizational trauma do you recognize in your own institution?
-
Which tip resonated with you the most? How will you implement it?
-
What questions do you have about navigating organizational trauma?
9P Roundtable Resources
From Hopeless to Champion
Have you noticed an increase in employee turnover? Or maybe a lack of urgency and focus to reach goals? Are employees taking longer breaks, frequently missing work, or becoming increasingly more critical or cynical? These are symptoms of a team that suffers from low morale.
Connections in Times of Challenge
Connection conversations (also check-in/rounding) help organizations harvest wins that can boost morale and promote successful actions. These conversations also deepen relationships with colleagues. Leaders conduct connection conversations with a disciplined cadence. Employees expect them, and this becomes a reliable routine in challenging or uncertain times.
Leading People in Times of Stress
How we think about stress matters. As we continue to experience change and uncertainty, how can leaders best support workers through stress?
