Summary

Individuals, brands and organizations gain resilience from aligning with their higher values.

When an unexpected challenge interrupts your life – such as the COVID-19 pandemic – your resilience will determine how well you weather the crisis. Resilience comes from developing psychological tools to respond to adversity. Among the most valuable of those tools: choosing to live by your values. Actively affirming your values wards off many of the biological and psychological effects of stress, decreasing levels of the stress hormone cortisol and reducing the tendency to ruminate on a failure. And people who endure crisis gain profound benefits from the experience, such as deeper relationships, wisdom and inner strength.

Resilient organizations can withstand disruptions to their structure, business strategy or supply chain; resilience allows brands to weather attacks. For any organization, staying committed to its values – that is, integrity – underpins resilience. Integrity also means maintaining congruence between words and actions, being consistent across time and situations, and holding to principles and beliefs rather than taking a pragmatic approach.
