What's wrong with resilience?

It seems like everyone, and every organisation, wants to become more resilient at the moment.

When I’m asked to talk about, and train people, on building resiliency, I find that I’m often starting at a disadvantage.

The ideas that people have about what resilience means - at least from a scientific perspective - are often both mistaken and fixed. The common misconception about resilience is that it is the ability to remain strong, stoic and defiant in the face of challenge and adversity.
