Resilience is the ability to stay focused, motivated, and united through adversity — and resilient teams are built, not born. Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when teams rally around shared values, support one another, and maintain perspective during challenging times. Resilient teams adapt quickly, stay aligned with their mission, and remain committed even when circumstances change.

Leaders play a critical role in shaping resilience. By setting clear expectations, modeling calm under pressure, and providing consistent support, leaders help teams develop the confidence to overcome obstacles. When people feel trusted and empowered, they handle challenges with more creativity and determination. Resilient teams are the backbone of high-performing organizations, and cultivating that strength is one of the most important responsibilities of leadership.
