Will leaders be willing to drive necessary systemic and organizational changes once we are back to our new normal?
Be the Willow, Not the Oak
The need for leaders to show and model resiliency is more important now than ever. Begin by taking one or two steps to improve your resiliency with these tips. And remember, the process of enhancing leadership abilities is a marathon, not a sprint.

Put a Name to What You Are Thinking, Feeling and Believing
