Often, we’re taught that surviving something means that we handled it tenaciously. But just because we survived something doesn't mean we did so tenaciously. So, what does it actually mean to have tenacity? Tenacious leadership can help you stay energized and avoid burnout even while managing the most challenging situations. It’s a deeper level of capacity than resilience offers. When we’re tenacious, we grow despite crisis or change. But when we simply white-knuckle our way through, we’re practicing more short-term resilience.
