Today, almost everybody at work is affected by change programmes, customer driven or competitor driven, or possible merger / acquisition / downsizing activity, and these are all sources of stressors, pressure and challenge.
The Mental Toughness of the organisation as a whole is as important as individual Mental Toughness in dealing effectively with these stressors and in bringing about a successful outcome.
Probably the greatest value of the Mental Toughness model lies in employee development, in leadership and management development and in coaching. It also has a high value in recruitment, selection and succession planning.
Assessing an individual's Mental Toughness can also assess their readiness for learning and the investment in this. Attending to emerging issues can make a significant difference to the effectiveness of training and development activity, thus minimising waste and improving the effectiveness of training, leading to the immediate application of what has been learnt into the workplace.
