High-performing leaders don't just survive adversity, uncertainty and change. They use it to become better.
With so much uncertainty, change and adversity in the world, how we respond to these challenges is either a competitive advantage or a liability. Fragile leaders fray under this relentless pressure. They become resistant, disengaged, exhausted or cynical. Robust leaders stay strong. But some rare leaders respond to adversity by getting stronger. They get more engaged and more energised in the difficult moments and through the difficult times. Their energy lifts others up. This is what Antifragility looks like.
We've observed that antifragile people display two key qualities: Resilience (bounce back quickly) and Grit (keep going no matter what). For over 16 years, Shaun Kenny and Michelle Rushton (co-creators of the Leadership Engine platform) have helped thousands of leaders understand their resilience and grit and they've collected thousands of data points through this diagnostic.
The Antifragility Advantage Diagnostic is a self-assessment. It covers elements that span simple behaviours to surprising, subtle behavioural responses to delving deep into people's psychology.
