How to Build a Resilient Team Without Toxic Positivity
Russell Harvey makes a clear case that resilience is not about telling people to toughen up or stay positive. It is about helping individuals and teams move forward with learning after pressure, loss, or disruption. For executives, the real issue is not whether people can endure change, but whether the organization creates the conditions for people to adapt, perform, and keep moving. That means removing blockers, role-modeling healthy leadership, and replacing toxic positivity with grounded optimism. The conversation is especially relevant for leaders navigating constant change, because it reframes resilience as something that can be designed, taught, and reinforced.
