The manager's own resilience
The manager's own state through the changes their teams go through. That means noticing one's own reaction, building a support network made up of people other than one's reports, and asking for help. At executive scope it also means the deliberate support that makes sustained judgment possible.
Evidence grade: practice A widely adopted practitioner model with clear provenance.
Use it when
Any period of sustained load; the leader who has no one to tell.
Where it stops working
It is practical advice, and not clinical. A manager whose exhaustion has become burnout needs the load changed; practising resilience will not do it.
Where the standard uses it
- CC-6Self-managementThe manager's own time, energy, boundaries, and resilience.
