Leading Through Uncertainty: Using ACT to Build Resilient Teams
In today’s fast-paced workplaces, leaders are facing increasing levels of psychological distress and burnout. These internal states don’t just affect wellbeing, but directly impact employee performance, decision making and overall team outcomes.
Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) is an evidence-based process used within organizations to enhance resilience, leadership capacity and workplace performance.
How ACT Works
ACT reduces psychological distress and burnout, through some specific skills:
Mindfulness Practice
By learning to stay grounded in the present moment, regardless of internal states, or thoughts. This helps to reduce impulsive decision-making, while supporting more strategic thinking.
By learning to identify and act according to core values, leaders engage in increased consistency and build confidence to act even in high-pressure situations.
Together, these skills have been shown to reduce symptoms of stress, increase work performance, and reduce workplace errors.
