Develop resilience to improve your performance

Introduction

When we think of resilience, we may think of something that springs back into shape after a blow or other impact.
The psychological resilience in a person is representative of his capacity to react quickly to difficulties or adverse conditions, to formulate new goals and pursue them with determination.
Resilient people can contribute substantially to the success of the organisation and the growth of competitive advantage.
