Tough times call for resilience and high performance. Using what Dr Seligman calls our “Values in Action Signature Strengths” sit right at the core of our life and enhance the degree of happiness and fulfilment for employees. Dr Seligman has trained 11 000 drill sergeants from the US Army in how to teach optimism and resilience. On the 25th October he will discuss the techniques by which business managers and leaders can train their employees to become more resilient. How do you get your people to enjoy their work so much that it almost seems effortless?
“We have created a far-reaching ethos of creativity and believe that innovation, coupled with on- going optimism, is the key to success in any organisation. Innovation is fundamental to our business success and gives our people a sense of meaning, purpose and achievement. All of which are key to improving the wellbeing of our people and our business.” says Michael Jordaan, CEO, FNB
