Resilient Leaders - The Resilience Trilogy

by Robert F. Dees

Overview

Leadership is a contact sport. In the rough and tumble of life, leadership makes the difference. Excellent leadership to which we aspire integrates disciplines which ensure personal resilience, and promote resilience in others and in organizations. Resilient Leaders is part of the Resilience Trilogy by General Bob Dees. If you are in charge of anything or anyone, move to a higher tier of what it means to be a resilient leader: How do I help others navigate the body slams of life? How do I help the organizations and people I lead recover from changing market conditions, tragic circumstances, perplexing dilemmas? While it is true that leaders get tired and body slammed, leaders also must bounce back, ideally even higher than before. Leaders must be resilient. That's what Resilient Leaders is all about.

Editorial Reviews

I have known General Bob Dees for almost twenty years and have found him to be a man of vision, clarity, and principle. He has the capacity to distill ideas related to both following Jesus and leading people like few others. The wealth of experience in the crucible of conflict that Bob brings to his writing does more than inform me. It challenges me to look farther, think more precisely, and act boldly. Resilient Leaders calls me to practical leadership and it should. Bob Dees models it.

It's been said, "The worth of one's character is measured by the trial of adversity." Resilient Leaders is a clear, compelling, and a full of common sense guide to handling and even thriving in adversity. Leaders not only need to be resilient, but they need to model resiliency to inspire those they lead. Life is a test and this book will help you be a good test taker!

In reading Resilient Leaders I realized there were times when my twenty-five years of innate leadership paid off. But it also identified areas of weakness I wish I had known how to handle. Unfortunately in life we don't get "do overs," so we have to learn from both our mistakes and others' wisdom. Resilient Leaders is a book that should be read and re-read by everyone from parents to MBA students to CEO's of America.

Now this outstanding Military Commander and business leader brings us his personal experiences through Resilient Leaders, for all ages and levels of responsibility, basically a guide for the leaders of today by providing them the tools and examples to help navigate the challenges that every leader faces.

As a seasoned leader, General Bob Dees has captured the essence of resiliency in a leader. Leadership is always played out in the "Red Zone," and leaders who do not cultivate resiliency find themselves sidelined much too quickly. Resilient Leaders is a "must read" for anyone in a leadership role.
