Leading Through the Unknown: Building Collective Resilience
Change is no longer an occasional disruption. From ambitious national visions and rapid advances in AI to shifting economic and geopolitical realities, leaders and their teams are navigating an environment where uncertainty has become part of everyday working life. While leaders cannot, and perhaps should not, shield their teams from change, they can shape how people experience and respond to it. How do we create teams that can navigate pressure and setbacks, adapt when circumstances shift, and continue to learn and perform through challenge? This ability to respond and grow together is at the heart of collective resilience. In the third episode of Leadership: Re-imagined, Talogy consultant Munir Burhan is joined by award-winning business psychologist Ali Shalfrooshan, Talogy’s Director of Science Strategy and the driving force behind Talogy’s thought leadership and solutions on resilience. Drawing on research, practical experience, and more than a decade of studying resilience through periods of significant change, Munir and Ali explore the role leaders play in creating resilient teams. Together, they challenge the common misconception that resilience simply means enduring pressure, instead exploring how leaders create the conditions for people and teams to learn, adapt, and grow through uncertainty. From psychological safety and resilience-building behaviours to the wider culture and systems that surround people, they consider what it takes to build organisations that can adapt and grow when change is constant.
