Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity. Resilient Leadership is the term used to describe those leadership behaviors that are designed primarily to help others (those who follow) resist, adapt to, or spring forward from crisis and adversity. Based on an analysis of 21 years of leadership research, it was found that crisis focused resilient leadership was a powerful predictor of overall leadership. Yet Resilient crisis leadership is seldom taught, despite recommendations from the Institute of Medicine.

This video is essential for those in leadership positions, or those who aspire to leadership positions, especially in emergent, crisis-oriented professions.
