Ravenyard Priorities Assessment - Resourcefulness

adaptability_raven

RESOURCEFULNESS - the ability to tap inner or external resources; to deal skillfully, and promptly with new situations and difficulties; capable of devising ways to cope or respond to challenges (agile, nimble, presence of mind, imagination, scrappy).

In crisis, resources (time, attention, focus, money, sleep, energy) are scarce. Resourcefulness is a pragmatic assessment of tools, capabilities, guidance, and the ability to creatively tap into them to mitigate risk and expand options.
QUESTIONS TO ASK

INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATIONS

Resourceful people cultivate inner qualities like creativity, courage, and steadiness to support their well-being. They also tap into external support from friends, a therapist, and their community to prevent isolation and loneliness.

LEADERSHIP CONSIDERATIONS

Resourceful leaders elicit help and feedback from trusted advisors, industry partners, market research, experts, and trade organizations to build coalitions and gain insights. They also know that wisdom lives within their own organization if they listen for it.
