[PITTSBURGH, PA. September 10, 2026] – Talogy, a global leader in talent management solutions, has been recognized for its pivotal role in advancing workplace resilience research in a new book Thin-Skinned: Why Lawyers Are So Low in Resilience and the New Science That Can Help.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published by the American Bar Association, the book by leading legal psychology experts Dr. Larry Richard and Dr. D\u2019Arcy Lyness credits 30 years of data from Talogy\u2019s Caliper profile assessment<\/a> as the foundation for its insights into high-stakes workforce performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing from a database of 4.5 million Caliper assessments<\/strong>, the book highlights a central workplace paradox: the very traits required for exceptional job performance are often the exact traits that leave professionals vulnerable to stress. Specifically, Dr. Richard\u2019s data shows that lawyers average just 30% on resilience<\/strong>, compared to 50% for the general public, with nine out of 10 scoring in the bottom half of the resilience scale. This is a pattern that has remained unchanged since 1994.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the three decades that we have been evaluating and coaching legal professionals, we have seen a clear pattern,\u201d said Dr. Larry Richard. \u201cLaw schools admit, firms hire and clients reward individuals who demonstrate high skepticism, high urgency, high self-reliance and an intolerance for error. While those traits produce stronger legal documents and won cases, our research shows they also predict rumination, defensiveness, isolation and difficulty coping with criticism, stress and change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dynamic extends far beyond law. Any workforce that hires and promotes for vigilance, perfection and precision under pressure faces the same risks, such as manufacturing safety leads, ICU charge nurses, compliance officers, federal investigators or public safety supervisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using Talogy\u2019s assessment data to view resilience as a measurable trait rather than a temporary mood, leaders across all organizations can act on three core operational insights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
