Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, resilience has become one of the most popular concepts for teams and businesses to focus on, and it would be difficult to find a team or business that doesn’t have the word “resilience” as part of its core value set. This is not surprising considering that COVID-19 has been superimposed on the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), creating a new set of socio-political-economic conditions, the likes of which the world has never seen.
It is as if the world we live in and share has become scorched, not only by drought or through the compounded effects of decades of global warming, but by negative human emotions of fear, uncertainty and panic.
