How to Build a Resilient Team
When a team has resilience baked into its culture, it creates a working environment where people take smart risks. Where experimentation isn’t met with fear. Where momentum doesn’t get lost when things go wrong. Resilience is a speed skill, shortening the distance between failure and success.

Three Secrets to Foster Inclusion
One of the most effective ways culturally agile leaders can create an inclusive environment is by embracing the practice of perspective-taking. This means that each of your team members knows how to step into their colleagues’ proverbial shoes, see the world through their eyes, and understand their experiences and viewpoints.
Crisis? What Crisis? How to Keep Your Cool and Your Team Connected During a Meltdown
When a crisis hits, keeping your cool as a leader is important. It is equally important for leaders to make sure their team does the same, staying cool, connected, and cohesive. Every team member will respond to stress differently, and understanding these differences can be the key to leading your team through turbulent times. Whether the crisis is external, like an industry shift, or internal, like a major project breakdown, the ability to navigate tension effectively is an invaluable leadership skill. Leaders need to know (ideally before a crisis) how team members will respond in moments of high pressure. At Skiilify, we prepare leaders with three key insights on their team that will affect how they respond to stress: resilience, tolerance of ambiguity, and communication styles.
The Importance of Cultural Agility in Leadership
In today’s world, leaders need to be able to navigate different cultures to be effective. As someone who studies how people can build important skills, I’ve spent years learning about what makes a leader successful in multicultural settings. Cultural agility is the ability to work comfortably and effectively with people from different cultures, and it’s a key skill for leaders. You can learn more about how to build cultural agility through the online development tool offered by Skiilify called myGiide.
