summary
Argues that resilience is a group property, not an individual fix, and that wellness apps or training miss systemic causes; cites a 71% increase in searches for resilience (Mar 8–29, 2020), Emmy Werner’s definitions, Michael Rutter’s protective factors, Deborah Gordon’s ant research (the ant surplus workforce metaphor), and Jim Collins’ Stockdale Paradox. Shares a concrete case: a subcontracted data visualization app for a nonprofit that faced turnover, pandemic disruptions and technical debt and ultimately does not ship, illustrating which supports (recognition, capacity, realistic deadlines, psychological safety) actually matter.
