Organizations have either been purposefully designed or have evolved to operate efficiently and effectively in routine environments characterized by stability and predictability. This often translates into employees feeling psychologically safe in an environment where they can repeat their performance in a known situation. Over the last decade, volatility in natural, economic, and social systems increased faster than many organizations and individuals can adjust, resulting in organizational vulnerability toward rapidly changing conditions and facilitating a sense of uncertainty and unsafety. Such fast-moving events are overwhelming many organizations and impacting their ability to manage the adverse effects of systemic volatility. Individual and team responses to volatility are impacting organizational outcomes. In this episode focusing on Executive Coaching and Organizational Development, Tijen speaks with Cynthia Lait, ACC, about the Genco Method approach to organizational resilience. The Genco Method approach to resilience is about coaching individuals’ and teams’ responses and reactivity to volatility by building strength and capacity to embrace, adapt, and innovate during the ever-changing conditions, moving away from change-cooping and bouncing back organizational response toward change-thriving organizational capability.  ⁠Click here to learn more about the concept and engage with Tijen.⁠ ⁠Click here to learn more about Cynthia Lait.⁠
