Overview of Resilient Leadership
Overview
Within the last several years world events have underscored the importance of effective leadership. Whether it’s responding to extreme financial market fluctuations, down-sizing, personal or professional setbacks, disasters, or overall bleak economic conditions, leadership that not only guides, but fosters resilience is critically needed. At RSI, we have developed what we believe is the “missing link” in leadership training. We refer to this new form of leadership as “resilient leadership.” Resilient leadership is the catalyst that inspires others to exceed their own expectations. It helps create a culture of resilience wherein adversity is seen as opportunity, where strength and honor become the mantra for success.
The foundations of this program were presented in Kuwait after the Gulf War and later in Hong Kong prior to the Beijing Olympics. They were later taught at the FBI National Academy. The core elements have been described in the online versions of The Washington Post as well as the Harvard Business Review and further described in the book Secrets of Resilient Leadership: When Failure is Not an Option.
This program is designed to better prepare the participants to be resilient leaders. Whether first line supervisors or chief executive officers, history as well as current events, argue that leaders at every level must be trained beyond traditional leadership skills, rather they must be trained in how to handle the unexpected and the potentially devastating. They must be trained in the tools of resilient leadership.
