How to build a resilient mindset

Developing resiliency across an organization is a three-step process that begins with leaders.


Executive summary
  • By having a strong sense of purpose, opportunities and threats become more manageable for leaders.
  • Maintaining a realistic, positive outlook can help entrepreneurs overcome perceived barriers and achieve long-term business goals.

These days, uncertainty is unavoidable. So how do top entrepreneurs lead with confidence during uncertain times? With a resilient mindset. This means adapting to and processing challenges, using healthy coping strategies, and staying flexible to internal and external demands, as defined by the American Psychological Association.1

“Building a resilient mindset, team and culture is a three-step process, and it starts with the leader,” says Heidi Grant, EY Americas Director of Research and Development in Learning. “Cultivating a resilient mindset is possible if you use the right tools.”
