The Impact of Leadership on Resilience.

Leadership has a major influence on the culture of a team – including its capacity to be resilient. We know that the actions of leaders can nurture or disseminate the resilience of a team. We also know that it is critical that leaders role model resilience to instil a sense of confidence that future challenges can be embraced.
Our two R@W Leader scales explore the extent to which leaders foster the 7 components of team resilience incorporated in the R@W Team.

The R@W Team has been designed to focus on actions that can be implemented by the team itself. While group-level actions can be inhibited by external demands, both within and outside of the organisation, the premise is that teams can still create a sub-culture that contributes to resilience.
