Diagnostic results
Your result: COPING
Your score places your resilience as a leader in the Coping band - some dimensions are genuinely strong, others are carrying more than they should
You're functioning well. The question is how sustainable that is.
Coping is not a small thing - it means your resilience as a leader has real foundations. Some dimensions of The Resilience Wheel are working well for you. But it also means there are areas where you're managing rather than thriving, where performance is dependent on conditions being reasonably good rather than built on something more robust.
The leaders Russell works with in the Coping band often describe a familiar pattern: things are largely fine, there are patches that are genuinely good, but there's a persistent sense that something is slightly off - a dimension that's draining more energy than it should, or a quiet uncertainty about how they'd hold up if things got significantly harder.
The gap between Coping and Thriving as a leader is rarely about working harder. It's about identifying the specific dimensions where resilience is fragile - and giving those targeted, deliberate attention.
Coping leaders plateau. Thriving leaders compound.
In the Coping band, there's a risk that things are good enough that the work doesn't get done. Good enough to keep going. Good enough to perform adequately. But not quite strong enough to step into the leadership moments that matter most - or to sustain performance when conditions deteriorate.
The leaders who make the biggest difference to their teams and organisations are typically those who've moved from Coping to Thriving and then deliberately worked to stay there. That move rarely happens by accident.
STRENGTH IN SOME DIMENSIONS. PRESSURE IN OTHERS. THE RESILIENCE WHEEL SHOWS YOU EXACTLY WHERE.
The Resilience Wheel maps seven dimensions of leadership resilience. In the Coping band, the picture is usually mixed - two or three spokes are strong, others are developing, and one or two need real attention. A conversation with Russell will show you exactly which.
Attitude • Confidence • Purpose • Adaptability • Energy • Support • Meaning
"I thought I was doing fine. The diagnostic showed me I was strong in some areas and quietly running low in others. That insight was worth more than a year of vague self-reflection."
