Resilience is the ability that individuals call on to help deal with stressful situations. The ability to cope with problems and setbacks then rebound to the pervious state or better. Resilience comes in many flavors or levels in society. There is economic resilience, which many economies experience, like after say a financial crash, like in 2008. There is community resilience, like after a natural disaster such a hurricane, like Puerto Rico or the California fires last year. And there is national resilience, like the recovery after 911 (09/11/2001). Events like these are recoverable because governments and agencies are in place to prepare for and respond to the aftermath of such events. There is a need for a Resilience cycle at work.
These types of resilience take a lot of professionals and leaders to overcome. Then there is personal resilience. That resilience that deals with personal setbacks and challenges. Such as health issues, family issues, death of a loved one, divorce or a job loss for example. Although the latter type of resilience is usually out of your and my control. The two types of resilience are somewhat co-dependent. In the case of wide spread event occurrence, the resilience of individuals that handle the wide spread event occurrence needs to be there. And the resilience of people who suffer through the wide spread event occurrence, need to be resilient in and of them self’s.
In order for an entity such as a country, state, city, an organization or business to have resilient mind set. The elected officials, organization or business need to be resilient like wise. In the case of a county or a government to be prosperous, an environment needs to be established that helps it population to be or become resilient. People can only be truly resilient when they have the assistance and support of others around them. Family, friends, work associates and an economic and social environment or culture that feed the Resilience Cycle.
In order to create an economic and social environment feeds the Resilience Cycle. We need to have the right people in place, at each level of the economic and social environment. We face the opportunity to do this is a month or so and again in November of nest year. In order to achieve this we need to be aware and educated about the challenges that we face. Do your individual research and be prepared to make educated decisions in regards to Resilience cycle.
