Nowadays, we are facing a world in social and economic compulsion. Different kinds of crises and shocks in the economic and social systems crashed in our reality. This is creating a chaos and uncertainty environment among leaders, entrepreneurs and organizations. It is precisely in this moment of uncertainty that an innovator and resilient leader can identify new opportunities to integrate emotions around an organization. These innovators and leaders are struggling with this issue and sought ways of working and continue daily activities. In essence, these leaders are adding resilience into the organizational culture using two sides: rational and emotional sides of innovation. For that reason, understanding resilience and innovation as a symbiosis is a guide for modern organization. This relationship is a priority for many organizations, actors and governments in the current scenario of changing. Under this context, having an index that measures dynamics and main practices (rational and emotional sides) around a culture of innovation allows us to know and recognize how does our organization resilience react front a major economic impact. In the case of the study, the application of the instrument was carried out during the months of September to December 2022 to 177 managers and/or founders of small and medium-sized companies in the state of Guanajuato, México. We use a Partial Least Square Equation Model (PLS-SEM) methodology to prove validity into relationships and sample size. We draw on our findings detecting that managers mostly are focused on the rational side of innovation (resources, processes and successes) and less on the emotional side (values, behaviours and work environment). This finding provides an opportunity to improve this emotional side of innovation, because this is a core element to enhance resilience in organization. We recommend further development and evaluation of future approaches about leadership, innovation and resilience.
