What's involved with resilience? Backbone, courage, determination, being thick skinned, experience?
Yes I'm sure drive is important. Still am thinking of something like drive as being some kind of quality inherant in a person.I also agree that is can vary across domains. I think that it can also vary across time. I think that things like how full your cup is, the drive to overcome things and supports have a huge impact.
I want to clarify what I mean by drive. I am not saying that someone who lacks resilience, lacks drive. They may have lots of drive but not be highly resilient because of other factors. I do think that part of being resilient is having the want or the drive to change things.
What supports our resilience?
Research has identified a number of specific factors that enable an individual to ‘bounce back’ and perform at their best in any workplace.
How can you best nurture these factors that help us to maintain our sense of wellbeing in the workplace, particularly when times get tougher:
~ Trusting relationships with line managers and colleagues
~ Emotional support outside the workplace through family, friends and community
~ Supportive and visible management where there’s also clear communication, roles and responsibilities and accurate information available
~ A sense of being valued and recognised for work well done
~ Workplace self-esteem or identity supported through the encouragement of autonomy and the freedom to act and take responsible risks
~ Hope/ belief that things can change
~ Perception of being able to cope is high
NHS what is resilience?
I think this is really key.some kind of quality inherant in a person.
And wondering if resilience, is more a measure of supporting factors a person has in their life?
