Abstract With the ongoing changes and disruptions rampant within the industry, it is imperative to study the factors and reassess their practical viability in real-life situations, fostering leadership resilience and adaptability during times of change and uncertainty within an organization. Through an extensive literature review, essential factors for senior and middle-level leadership have been identified and developed in the paper.

Literature in the field of resilience suggests numerous variables that characterize it, such as positive self-esteem, coping skills, sense of coherence, optimism, hardiness, strong social resources, self-efficacy, adaptability, risk-taking, low fear of failure, perseverance, determination, and a high tolerance for uncertainty. Researchers like Bonanno (2004), Carver (1998), Masten (2005), O’Leary (1998), Patterson et al. (2002), and Ungar (2004) have cited these variables.

From the literature review, it is evident that the majority of research papers focus on factors essential for leadership in organizations to navigate uncertain times and challenges. Factors that cultivate a resilient environment have been identified. However, there is a notable scarcity of real-life case studies supporting these claims. Xiao and Cao (2017) found in their research that while past studies discussed about the various concepts and measurement pertaining to organizational resilience, however they strongly felt that there is a dearth of integrative constructs and empirical research due to the unpredictable nature of crises and uncertainty, along with a lack of samples.

Thus, there is an opportunity to enrich the existing body of knowledge by substantiating past researchers' and social scientists' assertions regarding the effect of various factors on organizational resilience and styles of leadership during uncertain times with real-life examples.

The objective of this research paper is to study all the factors or constructs contributing to organizational resilience and leadership adaptability from the literature review and to substantiate them with a real-life case illustrating how an organization managed its business during change and uncertainty.
