Our networks provide us with emotional and tangible support which in turn shapes how we think about things. Positive relationships and supportive environments at work as much as at home have a worthy role to play in building individual, team and organisational resilience.

When it comes to thriving, leaders need to forget the bounce-back and start role modelling the bounce forward.

Complexity and uncertainty can make us anxious. The world we live in is increasingly both. Between a cost of living, political and economic uncertainty, strained public services, a climate emergency, and heightened worry about our future, no wonder our mental health is under strain. This is creeping into our work lives too.

We've all experienced the feeling of being overwhelmed or unmotivated when it comes to achieving our goals. Whilst many factors can help or hinder us, as psychologists we know the best place to start is developing the right mindset. Doing so will allow you to tackle any goal you’re working towards.

Organisations often rely on past performance to select leaders, yet research shows this approach is flawed as success in one role doesn't guarantee success in more complex positions.
