These examples demonstrate that an individual who can use a variety of behaviours, social stories, distributed leadership, peer-to-peer relationships, and informal conversations can explore options, perform experiments, foster redundancy, and distribute their power while being more independent. Therefore, such an individual is more antifragile.

ACHIEVING INDIVIDUAL ANTIFRAGILITY

To achieve greater antifragility, an individual must interact with reality and experience reality through their conversations, relationships, and behaviours. They must embrace reality and thrive in it. They must ensure they are evolving based on their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats as well as observations, orientation, decisions, and actions. As individuals, our mindsets, questions, and leadership exemplify our individual identity and our antifragility.

To achieve greater antifragility, individuals navigate and synchronize with one another and signal and trigger each other via their dynamics. These include conversations, relationships, and behaviours. An individual’s fluidity across collectives and the enterprise determines the individual’s antifragility.

Antifragility requires us to be entrepreneurs and adventurers. As entrepreneurs, we consider our options and experiment to seek opportunities and thrive. As adventurers, we individually don’t specialize and are very independent in seeking experiences and evolving. As adventurers, we collectively become redundant and share power to seek experiences and evolve.

Herein is a summary of the sections in this chapter:

• Mindsets : A fixed mindset limits an individual’s openness to themselves and their options. A growth mindset expands an individual’s openness to themselves and their options.

• Questions : A judger mindset limits an individual’s openness to reality and experiments. A learner mindset expands an individual’s openness to reality and experiments.

• Leadership : Using various styles of leadership expands an individual’s awareness of themself and reality as well as their openness to explore options and perform experiments while being more independent.

• Conversations, relationships, and behaviours : An individual who can use various types of conversations, various types of relationships, and a variety of behaviours, social stories, distributed leadership, peer-to-peer relationships, and informal conversations can explore options, perform experiments, foster redundancy, and distribute their power while being more independent.

An individual’s mindset, questions, and leadership while conversing, relating, and behaving over time empowers the individual to achieve greater antifragility.

Consider an individual with a tendency to use various types of conversations, various types of relationships, and a variety of behaviours. Coaching this individual, I recognized and appreciated the ‘mystery’ of their individuality and individual identity. I raised awareness of their conversations, relationships, behaviours, mindset, questions, and leadership. When some of their initiatives were challenged, I observed and became increasingly aware of their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. We worked together to explore the initiatives, challenges, and situations as well as their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Working with our awareness, first, we focused on those strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that could be addressed with minimal stress while accomplishing what needed to be achieved. Second, working with our awareness, we then focused on creating and discovering opportunities. Finally, working with our awareness, I coached them to focus on those strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that involved progressively more stress while accomplishing what needed to be achieved.
