CHAPTER 25
How Resilient Are You?
by Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries
WE ALL FACE SETBACKS from time to time, and the ability to bounce back stronger than before is something we envy in others. So how can we develop that ability in ourselves?
A large body of research shows that resilient people are generally strong in three areas: challenge, control, and commitment. They accept that change, not stability, is the norm; they believe they can influence events in their lives; and they are engaged with the world around them.
This test will help you assess your strengths and weaknesses in these areas and provide feedback on ways to improve.
