Mental Toughness & Resilience



Mental toughness is a key trait that can help business leaders and individuals find greater success. According to a Forbes article, mentally tough individuals perform 25% better than others, have a more engaged and positive behavior, and can handle stressful situations more effectively. Another article from the University of Wollongong in Dubai states that genuine leadership leads to better performance, much better morale, well-being, and positive behavior2. Professor Peter Clough has broadly estimated that all things being equal and in general, 25% of the difference in performance levels between individuals can be explained by their overall level of mental toughness. Developing mental toughness can help leaders make better decisions, manage stress, and improve their overall performance. In conclusion, mental toughness can have a significant impact on business performance. It can help leaders navigate challenges, make better decisions, and improve their overall performance.
