Resilience as a Muscle and a Mindset with Phil Weinberg + Part 2: Key Takeaways

Most organizations talk about resilience as if it's a single thing — a quality you either have or you don't, summoned in a crisis and admired after the fact. Phil Weinberg, president and CEO of STRIVE, draws a sharper line. There's the resilience of the person, and there's the resilience of the institution, and conflating them is how good organizations end up brittle.

One is mindset. The other is muscle.

Carrie sits with that distinction this week, and with two more ideas from her conversation with Phil that are worth carrying into the work: the quiet damage of the nonprofit starvation cycle, and what it actually looks like to lead with consistency when every signal in the environment is asking you to react.
