#system #management Resilience is often sacrificed due to neglect > Because resilience may not be obvious without a whole-system view, people often sacrifice resilience for stability, or for productivity, or for some other more immediately recognizable system property. > Systems need to be managed not only for productivity or stability, they also need to be managed for resilience-the ability to recover from perturbation, the ability to restore or repair themselves. > Awareness of resilience enables one to see many ways to preserve or enhance a system’s own restorative powers.
