The Resilient Leader

Discover how to be a resilient leader through vital strategies and keys for achieving success and peace-of-mind at home and work—even in times of adversity.

Featuring insightful testimonies from key leaders—including CEO of TriStar Trust Bank Gene Pickelman and former Michigan State Senator Ken Horn.

This book investigates not only what it means to be a leader, but what it means to be a resilient leader.

This comes from understanding 2 important things:

• Developing skills to bounce back from adversity
• Learning from other successful leaders and what they have done to achieve their success

From Fortune 500 corporations to the small coffee shop on the corner, to hospitals and religious organizations, leaders of all kinds will benefit from the lessons presented in this book.

Author Brian Molitor, CEO of Molitor International, has distilled decades of his work into actionable guidance that is accessible and impactful. It also includes insightful testimonials from other leaders sharing their own experiences.

It is common for “leadership” books to focus on techniques to inform, inspire, teach, train, and develop the talents of team members.

This approach ignores the fact that leaders are only human, subject to the same stresses, problems, and storms as any other. Which is why the focus on self-care, personal wellness, and developing resilience is an important aspect of this book.

Being a resilient leader can be learned and this book provides everything you will need to get started.
