Here's how you can cultivate the key qualities of a resilient leader.

It is a very well know thing that "Change is the ONLY Constant". As a Leader it is important that you understand your own and the Organizations' SWOT's that lead to major change initiatives. As a Leader you must always look for opportunities to adopt and adapt to changing dynamics that lead to Change initiatives being rolled out. Any Org change needs a buy-in not only from the top but also from the mid and low level management and employee group - as i mentioned in an other post, it is critical to empower the middle-level management with localised decision making to ensure smooth implementation of changes at their level and trickling the same below. Communication, is as always, CRITICAL!

Abraçar a mudança é essencial para líderes em qualquer setor, especialmente no financeiro. Isso envolve estar aberto a novas tecnologias, estratégias de mercado e regulamentações. Um exemplo prático seria a adoção de novas plataformas digitais para melhorar a eficiência operacional em resposta às mudanças nas expectativas dos clientes e às demandas do mercado. Líderes que abraçam a mudança não apenas se adaptam mais rapidamente, mas também inspiram suas equipes a abraçarem novas oportunidades e a se desenvolverem constantemente.

Me parece súper importante y es fundamental practicar la autenticidad, la empatía y la capacidad de adaptación en situaciones desafiantes; aprender de los fracasos, mantener una mentalidad positiva y fomentar la comunicación efectiva con el equipo son aspectos esenciales. La resiliencia se fortalece al enfrentar y superar obstáculos con determinación y flexibilidad, demostrando liderazgo a través del ejemplo y la confianza en uno mismo y en los demás. Dicho esto ¿no se consideran ya resilientes? revisen sus trayectorias, vidas o últimos años ¿no pudieron con todo? ¿no están aquí ahora, evolucionados, aprendidos y dispuestos?

CHANGE - It's the variable component that tests everyone by it's very nature. How many industries have perished when they were not ready to understand the drastic changes that are happening in the industry? As a visionary and resilient leader, it's a great trait to initiate, communicate and empower the teams to embrace the changes that are difficult to practice in the beginning but bring a great value add and growth to the organization in the long run.

Prioritize ongoing education to stay abreast of industry trends and emerging technologies. Continuous learning equips you with the knowledge to make informed decisions and lead your team through evolving landscapes effectively.

I can relate continuous learning where some of the CXOs share the insights from the books they are currently reading and to impart the best ideas to the organization. Being at the helm, it sends a great message - you can always make time to learn and collaborate to share your learnings and take initiatives to grow as a great performing team. Knowledge is abundant - but only for the seeker who wants to bring a positive change!

A aprendizagem contínua é crucial para líderes financeiros que desejam se manter relevantes e eficazes. Isso inclui buscar constantemente novos conhecimentos sobre tendências de mercado, tecnologias emergentes e melhores práticas de gestão financeira. Por exemplo, participar de cursos de atualização em finanças corporativas ou workshops sobre liderança pode equipar um líder para tomar decisões mais informadas e estratégicas. Além disso, incentivar a cultura de aprendizagem dentro da equipe promove um ambiente de inovação e crescimento contínuo.

Learn continuously? if you teach an idiot how to be motivated. All you get is a motivated idiot. Stop learning and Start growing. How? Practice Self Control. Self Control...you know those habits that creeps up when we are alone or with others. Whatever bad habits you know you need to stop. When you do have self control, that's the ultimate learning lesson in life. You can't be taught self control. You must "do the not doing". Self control is a precurser to self mastery. If you continue to learn without having self control, you will become more of who you already are. This can be dangerous. A person who's addicted to gambling. Now you teach him to earn $1M a year. What did you just do?

As a leader and an executive lifelong learning is a choice and a commitment. Eliminate internal and external forces that aim to block, disrupt and sabotage your journey. Identify, adopt and implement insights, knowledge, and technology that align with and leverage your journey. Focus on your vision, mission and goals.

Resilient teams are formed by truly connected team members who are always ready to support each other. Specially during the crisis time you can bank upon each other to address the situation within timelines with best possible outcomes. To build strong relationships, resilience leaders should enable the platforms - not only the tools, but creative and collaborative connection opportunities at all possible levels. Give enough freedom to the teams to connect and to explore the best possible solutions to the problems industries are facing today.

Construir relacionamentos sólidos é fundamental para líderes financeiros, pois isso fortalece colaborações internas e externas. Isso envolve cultivar confiança, comunicação clara e empatia com colegas de equipe, clientes e stakeholders. Por exemplo, ao estabelecer relações próximas com investidores, um líder não só fortalece a base de apoio, mas também abre portas para novas oportunidades de negócios e parcerias estratégicas.

Positive relationships in the workplace are an integral part of career success. When building relationships in the workplace, you will notice an increase in productivity and overall job satisfaction. You can build lasting, professional relationships by taking certain steps toward understanding your emotional intelligence and getting to know your coworkers.

The ultimate relationship you should focus on is the one you have with your self. That's it. Yes, it's the concept of being selfish so you can be selfless. The late Jim Rohn once said, "I will take care of me for you, if you can please take care of you for me." If I develop myself as a leader, I will be a more impactful person for the team I lead.

As a leader and an executive networking is crucial. Be inclusive and encourage diversity however, make sure you eliminate internal and external forces that aim to block, disrupt or sabotage your journey, they are just toxic and negative. Encourage your teams to do the same. Focus on your vision, mission and goals.

Gerenciar o estresse é crucial para líderes financeiros, dado o ambiente dinâmico e as demandas intensas. Isso envolve técnicas como delegação eficaz, estabelecimento de prioridades claras e práticas regulares de autocuidado. Por exemplo, adotar pausas estratégicas durante períodos de alta pressão ajuda a manter a clareza mental e a tomar decisões mais ponderadas. Além disso, promover uma cultura de suporte entre a equipe pode reduzir o impacto do estresse e aumentar a resiliência organizacional como um todo.

Maintaining clear priorities beyond work helps immensely in managing the stress of leadership and remaining resilient. Whatever those other things are, family, friends, hobbies, you need to identify them and commit to them. That means setting aside planned time where you intentionally disconnect from work and give other things your full focus. Those regular reminders that work is not the only thing that matters in your life reduce the all or nothing perspective that leads to the most stress.

Promover o otimismo é essencial para líderes financeiros, pois inspira confiança e motivação em tempos de desafios. Isso inclui comunicar uma visão positiva do futuro, reconhecer conquistas e encorajar a inovação. Por exemplo, ao enfrentar dificuldades econômicas, um líder otimista pode focar em oportunidades de crescimento e desenvolvimento, incentivando a equipe a buscar soluções criativas e resilientes. O otimismo não apenas fortalece o moral da equipe, mas também contribui para um ambiente de trabalho mais produtivo e colaborativo.

There are many living examples of success stories to address crisis time, where the organizations reach to a point which could only be turned around by optimistic and resilient leaders. Can you imagine the Elon Musk's hardest time when both Tesla and SpaceX were at the verge of failure without much needed funding, Tata Motor's Ratan Tata's humble acquisition of car brands Jaguar and Land Rover during the crisis hours of Ford and turning them as successful brands, Sridhar Vembu's resilience not to sell Zoho during the dotcom bubble burst and turning it as the billion dollar bootstrapped company. Resilient leaders always lead from front and inspire resilient teams to follow the organization's optimistic vision towards success.

Self-reflection on regular intervals always helps to appreciate yourself, be grateful on what has been achieved so far. Also, it gives a chance to come up with new learning opportunities to improve on specific areas. At the same time, it's always a better practice to initiate a dialogue with leadership team to get the feedback - 1. To understand what do they perceive with your work. 2. To get a clear clarity of expectations.

You can't see where you're going if you don't sometimes look back and where you have been. You can celebrate wins, and look at losses with perspective and hindsight. Most folks need to reset their North Star and move their goalposts regularly.

One recommendation I've had is to keep a 'decision-making' journal. In it you list the decisions you are considering or have made, and outline the choices you had and which ones you made. This way you can look back on your decisions and see how your assumptions and expectations panned out. A good rearview mirror exercise.

One of the most helpful tools in building resilience as a leader is to reframe a situation. Reframing requires examining a situation from a different perspective and asking what else could be going on. For example, if a valued staff member resigns, you might focus on the loss, or you can choose to reframe it as a chance to hire new talent. There are some basic questions you can ask yourself: - What are the benefits of this situation? - What might my interpretation of the situation be missing?

Resilience is cultivated from withstanding, and importantly, recovering from adversity. Inner strength, reflection, and learning play a role in building resilience, but external factors are equally important. One external factor that is extremely important is a good support system. A support system provides you with a network of trusted people to share your feelings with. In addition to this emotional support (which is SO beneficial for reducing anxiety and feeling reassured), a support system provides practical support. You have people who can give you advice, tell you the truth with care, offer tangible help, and provide you the safety net you need to navigate difficult issues and build resilience. No one is an island.

Demonstrate your leadership abilities by embracing a growth mindset. This mindset allows for continuous learning, innovation, and adaptability. Sharing past experiences and demonstrating your ability to expand skills can make your case compelling and unlock future leadership opportunities. • Understand personal strengths, weaknesses, emotions, and biases. • Pivot and adjust approach as circumstances change. • Empathize with team, manage emotions, and navigate interpersonal dynamics. • Establish healthy habits like exercise, meditation, and work-life balance. • Foster Psychological Safety: Create a safe environment for team members to take risks. • Cultivate Optimism: Maintain a positive mindset and reframe challenges as opportunities.
