 | | "Resilient" Isn't the Compliment You Think It Is | | Resilience has become such an overused and celebrated concept that it can become a cop-out, both for individuals and for organizations in the way they treat groups of people. When it comes to people from marginalized groups, assuming that the hardships they have experienced creates thick skin is insensitive and othering. Leaders and organizations will be more successful if they stop assuming people in a group have similar abilities to bounce back from adversity and recognize that even people within a group have significant differences. | | | | | | |  | | Forgiving a Difficult Colleague | | Forgiveness is a complex and often misunderstood concept. But what do you do when someone's aggravating or offensive behavior is unlikely to ever change? It's one thing to extend forgiveness to someone who is genuinely remorseful and asks for it, but it's quite another to impart it to someone who's not sorry and is likely not going to change. And yet, that may be the most important time to forgive. Because when we harbor resentment, the only one suffering is us. If you need to shore up your capacity to forgive, here's how to begin. | | | | | | |  | | To Curb Burnout, Design Jobs to Better Match Employees' Needs | | Burnt out employees show that there are urgent problems to be addressed at the heart of any organization. But burnout is a management and organizational issue, not a physical or mental health issue, so promoting self-care won't usually help employees recover. The chronic job stressors that cause burnout can emerge from several kinds of mismatches, such as competence, belonging, and psychological safety. It is a leader's job to run a collaborative process with employees to address the persistent mismatches that employees experience at work. These five steps outline how to do that. | | | | | | |  | | Keeping Your Confidence Up During a Lengthy Job Search | | If you've lost your job, it can be hard to remember all your career successes and stay positive. But you can't replace your old job by staring at the computer eight hours a day or praying for a recruiter to call you. Here are five ways to overcome the cognitive dissonance of having to sell yourself and your abilities to a prospective employer when you've taken a big hit to your confidence. | | | | | | |  | | Shifting Your Perception After Being Laid Off | | Vivek Gulati was one of the 12,000 Google employees laid off in January. It was a shock, but he had been laid off before. With this perspective, Vivek shares his story, how he's navigating the transition, and suggests ways to take care of yourself first and foremost. Some research-backed strategies include: Prioritize self-care, notice who you're blaming, cultivate trust, and focus on what you really want. | | | | | | | | |
