Building Your Resilience as a Leader

Jon Wortmann, thoughtLEADERS’ Principal, sat down with Jim and Jan of The Leadership Podcast to discuss Leadership Resilience.

In continuation of our new collaboration with The Leadership Podcast, Jon explains leadership resilience in this short form “chalk talk.” These chalk talk series are bitesize sessions on a common (but challenging) leadership issue.

Jim, Jan, and Jon define exactly what it means to be resilient, where Jon compares the idea to being a human slinky, and how to continually bounce back against the regular and extraneous stresses of life.

The team at the leadership podcast ask Jon to breakdown recognizing when someone on our team may be struggling and how we, as a leader, can support and provide a strong environment for others to be able to develop their own resilience and to “bounce back” from their own particular stressors.

Stay tuned for more of these brief Chalk Talks featuring Jon, as well as many more members of the thoughtLEADERS team.
