Psychological resilience in the Manager/Managed relationship

Can managers enable their employees to express their psychological resilience? This is the central question our book seeks to answer. Using an approach rooted in psychological literature, we have examined resilience from the perspective of the individual, while at the same time adapting the concept of the resilience tutor to the context of management, in which the manager takes on the role of activator of his teams' resilience. Our field study revealed common concerns about the difficult-to-probe issue of work-related stress, and also highlighted a lack of appropriate solutions. In view of the needs expressed by managers and our initial motivation to propose an effective solution, we concluded that a digital resilience management tool, proposed by the consultant and piloted by the manager, should be conceptualized.
