Definitions
A resilient organisation knows the direction it’s travelling in. Its mission and vision are clearly defined, co-produced and communicated to the workforce, engendering a sense of collective ownership and belonging. A mission defines an organisation’s aims and objectives and how it approaches them, while a vision sets out the organisation’s desired future. This is where:
- Leaders are committed to a clear mission and vision and use their communication skills to consult with and motivate others.
- Leaders are optimistic but realistic and focus on continuous improvement, inspiring practitioners to identify what ‘good’ looks like and how this can be achieved.
- Change is managed constructively, especially during times of uncertainty
- There is a sense of purpose and values are translated into action
