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.

This brief 6-minute video introduces this novel, yet powerful evidence-based form of leadership, while reviewing its core components. This video is essential for those in leadership positions, or those who aspire to leadership positions, especially in emergent, crisis-oriented professions.
