Abstract: This paper explores interpersonal resilience as a means for groups to navigate uncertainty more effectively. Supported by a study completed over a decade, comprising observations and interviews in unconventional dynamic environments, a model, the dynamic resolve model (DRM) was constructed. The qualitative research method of phenomenology was chosen to analyse 150 interviews representing a diverse audience from the Department of Defense and NGO community. DRM serves as a resource for any group navigating uncertainty. DRM aims to help individuals engage in best practices to strengthen their collaborative capabilities by strengthening interpersonal resilience. DRM is an interpersonal resilience construct connecting observed relational qualities with behavioural patterns of exchange resulting in engagement actions. The study supports research which considers a new paradigm shift from an individualistic overview of the key traits and characteristics of individuals to the observed actions and outcomes of resilient collaborative teams. The study fills a gap in research which considers the complexity of groups that function in heightened emotional states attentive to the techniques that motivate individuals to accept uncertainty and experimentation.
