Are You Resilience Ready?
Resilience Ready reveals a framework for how these principles have helped me and other leaders get through the greatest challenges of our generation.
This book does not teach you the nuts and bolts of creating or implementing an operational crisis or disaster recovery plan. Resilience Ready guides you in how to build your personal resilience skill, so you are equipped and ready to lead with the resilience your team needs. These resilience principles integrate with servant leadership principles so that stronger, more humane leaders and organizations emerge.
Resilience Ready begins by revealing in Part 1 the crisis we face with leaders who are ill-equipped to lead their organizations through adversity, which we will continue to experience at a more rapid pace than ever before. I discuss the impact and the contributors to this resilient leadership crisis.
Part 2 of this book introduces the solution to this leadership crisis, the Resilience Ready Leader’s Guide. This guide lays out a framework for building leadership talent capable of steering your organization through even the most extreme adverse situations with resilience. The roadmap begins with developing your personal resilience skill around a set of essential resilience principles. These principles and associated servant leadership practices give you a foundation and toolkit for growing resilience across your teams and within your organizational culture.
You are in the middle of a crisis right now, and…
- Stress from the uncertainty and fear are threatening your well-being.
- Stress from uncertainty and demanding workloads are threatening the well-being of your team and organization.
- You are struggling to be the resilient leader your team needs.
- Your leadership approach to the crisis is void of humanity. You struggle with how to connect to and support your team.
- You are constantly worried and distressed about the crisis.
- You feel like you, your team, and/or your organization are stuck figuring out how to get through the crisis in one piece (and don’t know how to get unstuck).
You are not in a crisis right now, and…
- You want to reflect on your resilience during a recent crisis, identifying where you might need extra attention.
- You know resilience was missing in your leadership during a recent crisis and there were negative outcomes that you don’t want to repeat.

- You need to ensure the leadership teams within your organization are prepared to lead with resilience as future crises emerge.
- You need to strengthen your leadership development programs by integrating the resilient leadership principles in this book.
