RISE UP

Six Habits of Resilient Leaders

The following six habits are essential for leaders who are committed to continuous growth, enhanced effectiveness, and making a positive impact within their organization. Cultivating these traits helps build trust, foster collaboration, and navigate complex challenges with resilience and purpose.

Trust

If your team does not trust you, you cannot succeed. Build relationships based on mutual trust.

Inquisitiveness

Every perspective has value. Be present, ask questions, and listen deliberately.

Humility

Galvanize the collaboration of those around you to achieve great results. Humility is not modesty but the understanding that one person alone cannot do the job.

Optimism

Believe that hard work will lead to positive outcomes.

Courage

Have the courage to push into discomfort zones necessary for individual, team, and organizational growth. Defining moments will arise when your values conflict with those of others. It takes courage to follow your convictions.

Discipline

Establish what needs to be done, decree consequences, and take action in a disciplined manner. Great leaders master personal discipline in key aspects of their lives.
