How Our THRiVE Program Improves Adaptability:
Resilience has become a crucial attribute for organisations striving to maintain competitive advantage and adapt to continuous change.
Dialectic Behaviour Principles (DBP) provide a comprehensive framework that can significantly enhance resilience at both individual and organisational levels. This paper explores how DBP can be applied to boost resilience, helping workplaces not only survive but thrive amid challenges.
THRiVE Program Insight:
ADAPTABILITY MICRO SKILLS
Change Resilience
THRiVE teaches Mindfulness skills, which are crucial during times of stress or upheaval. Mindfulness supports a resilient mindset by reducing reactivity to fears of the future or regrets about the past, instead teaching to focus on actionable steps that can be taken in the present to mitigate challenges.
Sustained Performance
We teach techniques to understand and control emotional responses, helping to maintain a level head during crises or stressful situations. These skills reduce burnout and stabalise performance despite external pressures, thereby enhancing the overall resilience of the organisation.
Team Resilience
Resilience is often bolstered by strong social connections and support networks within the workplace. DBP’s focus on interpersonal effectiveness equips individuals with the skills to communicate clearly, assert needs respectfully, and listen actively.
Crisis Response
THRiVE teaches skills which enable employees to face setbacks and challenges without losing momentum or productivity. Cultivating distress tolerance supports a culture of preparedness, where employees are inherently ready to face adversity.
Self-Efficacy
When leaders and peers practice validation, it enhances individual self-esteem and self-efficacy, which are crucial for resilience. Feeling validated can encourage risk-taking and innovation, important drivers of adaptive and resilient organisations.
Time-to-Solution
Problem solving starts with acknowledging the reality of current challenges while also striving for improvement and adaptation. Acting intelligently under stress reduces the time it takes for a problem to be solved, improving outcomes.
