Book Review: The Resilient Leader

We’re all in a
storm these days especially considering today’s contentious political, racial,
and pandemic climates.  Building resilience in life isn’t as easy as it
sounds, but with the right support, it might actually be simpler than you
think. In The Resilient Leader, author Christine Perakis shares strategies you
can use to navigate life and business. Christine tells her tale of surviving
not one but two Category 5 hurricanes. But she does so by weaving leadership
principles into her tale.

Christine
Perakis has created seven resilience strategies that you can use to get through
whatever your disruptive environment throws at you to create life and career
invincibility and come through any challenge thriving.

In The
Resilient Leader, she discusses:

  • The 7 Barometers of Pandemic
    Preparedness for Small Businesses
    • Barometer #1 – Create a float plan
      for success – one page strategic business plan
    • Barometer #2 – “Keep on hand on
      the boat” – self-awareness, set the rules and lead by example
    • Barometer #3 – Expedition planning
      and preparation allow for situational readiness – create systems to keep
      your team motivated
    • Barometer #4 – Leadership vision –
      see possibilities of your situation, move forward as a leader
    • Barometer #5 – Don’t go it alone –
      expand team capabilities
    • Barometer #6 – Communication is
      critical – “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.”
    • Barometer # 7 – Develop good
      judgement – practice good decision-making models
  • The 3 Things Senior Leaders Must Do
    During a Crisis
    • Create a new float plan, redefine
      your vision, and commit to deepening your relationships with people
  • Creating a “Float Plan” For Dealing
    with Business Disruption
  • Evaluating and Motivating Your Team
    During (and After) a Disaster
  • How to Make Crucial Decisions
    Before It’s Too Late
  • Creating a Communication Plan (both
    corporate and individual)

Life may not be
smooth sailing, but with strategies to build strength, you can survive the
storms to become invincible in any weather. It’s time to take control.

I would
recommend this book to anyone along the journey of business improvement. The
Resilient Leader is full of actionable wisdom from real life survival
experience.
