Tech Leadership in So Many Words…#28: Resilient

Andrew Weaver
November 15, 2024

Resilience in technology leadership encapsulates more than enduring tough times; it’s about thriving amidst the many challenges and rapidly evolving scenarios that you’ll face.

Successful tech leaders understand and sometimes anticipate the obstacles that will be placed in their path but can adapt their strategies and view failures as catalysts for growth.

They’re able to maintain a clear vision, even under pressure, that enables space for their teams to remain motivated and focused.

This is all part of the resilience required to achieve success as you need to take a proactive approach to change, continuously learning and integrating new technologies and methodologies to stay ahead.

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” said a clearly resilient Thomas Edison and whilst we might not advise taking 10,000 attempts to get something right … in a world driven by constant innovation where adaptability is crucial, then building a culture with resilience and support at its centre can become a cornerstone of your success.
