Abstract
The objective of this study is to explore
senior corporate executives’
perceptions of how the resilience
process works for the different type
of adversities and the methods they
adopt to build a reservoir of resilience.
A qualitative research design
was adopted. The study uses inductive
analysis and thematic coding
of narratives of senior executives
for theorizing the phenomenon.
Personal and environmental adversities
affected senior executives. To
build resilience, they adopted five
identifiable methods, viz. i) leveraging
one’s emotions; ii) focusing
on one’s strengths and solutions; iii)
seeking support from others in the
face of adversities; iv) being flexible
to the choice of fighting back
vs. going with the flow and v) remaining
open to creative possibilities.
