Drawing on contemporary research and professional case studies, the authors examine the main sources of work- related stress, and explore how personal resilience can be developed both within and outside the work context. Resilience, they say, includes the capacity for sustainable recovery and buffering against on-going stress, and it has measurable benefits for business performance.
The book is designed as a practical resource, with proven techniques for commissioning, designing and delivering resilience-building solutions for the workplace.
The view here is that resilience will increasingly be incorporated into leadership and executive development programmes.
Alongside the growing emphasis on personal integrity and authenticity – and the growing recognition of the role of character strengths and key positive emotions for those in leadership roles such as gratitude and compassion – there will be growing recognition that leaders need to build and protect their resilience in order to stay effective in today’s challenging and pressurised working environment.
