help the organization to be better off following the crisis than it was before is an
example of the most desirable form of business recovery. The ability to lead an
organization to such an outcome can be described as resiliency. Sutcliffe and
Vogus (2003) defined resilience as the maintenance of positive adjustment under
challenging conditions. Resilience or resiliency is a competency in that it reflects
a capacity for individuals to absorb strain and improve functioning in the face of
adversity. Said differently, it is a person’s ability to bounce back in a new and
improved way following a difficult situation (Sutcliffe & Vogus, 2003).
After September 11, 2001, United Airlines worked diligently to bounce
back from the decline in industry sales. Initially, these efforts focused on cost
cutting by furloughing 20,000 employees, cutting salary of executives, and
reducing flight schedules (Austin, 2002; PR Newswire, 2001). At the same
time the airlines was implementing the cost-cutting strategy, it was aggressive
at marketing the company and its services (PR Newswire, 2001). Days after
September 11, marketing entailed print advertising that expressed condolences
regarding the tragedies, but within a couple of weeks, the advertising campaigns shifted to emphasize a “Back to Business” fare sale. Also, senior management was shifted so there were roles clearly responsible for sales and
revenue generation and safety operations
