In the workshop with senior executives, the discussion on resilience quickly transformed into an acknowledgment of ongoing challenges like budget cuts and hiring freezes. The common belief that individuals need to build resilience overlooks the systemic issues causing stress. True resilience is not simply about bouncing back but involves facing the reality of broken systems and seeking honest recovery methods. Instead of urging individuals to strengthen themselves amidst chaos, the focus should shift towards reducing the irrational burdens contributing to burnout.
"The underlying message? If you're struggling, it's probably because your internal shock absorbers are worn out-and you'd better fix yourself before the next storm hits."
"Psychologist Lucy Hone... wrote that true resilience isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about being able to suffer well-and recover in ways that are honest and human."
