The Resilient Leader: Leverage Adversity to Advance your Team

What makes high achievers truly different from everyone else? Embrace the single greatest factor in success for you and your team.

Bestselling business and leadership author John C. Maxwell will help you deeply understand that the biggest difference lies in how we face adversity. High achievers have fine-tuned a courageous mindset that never gets sidetracked, stalled, or overcome by hardships or breakdowns, no matter how serious.

Even obstacles can become important stepping-stones toward the true success you’ve envisioned. And as for those toughest, most monumental hardships that come your way—you’ll learn how to instinctively accept them and turn them into great opportunities.

This book is filled with practical strategies and inspiring stories curated and blended from Maxwell’s bestselling books Failing Forward and The Difference Maker. Here in The Resilient Leader, you’ll learn how to lead the way in seeing adversity not as a threat but as your best teacher. You’ll be equipped to:

• ­Maximize positive benefits from negative experiences.
• ­Move past old reactionary habits that fail to exploit adversity.
• Overcome fear and to champion the necessary changes for success.
• Reframe and view setbacks as temporary and solvable.
• Empower teams to become problem solvers and to welcome risk.
• Lead change by modeling courage, transparency, and conviction, so that others follow.

Don’t be just another leader drowning in problems. Instead, set the pace for making every member of your team a consistent overcomer, as together you propel your organization forward in innovation and impact.
