Much of the fear and uncertainty surrounding recessions is the adverse impact they will have on organizations and society. However, recessions are nothing new and past experience has shown that once countries have pulled through, some companies and individuals have not only survived, but thrived. They often emerge stronger, fitter, and better performing.
Developing Resilient Organizations argues that one of the fundamental keys to survival in these circumstances is resilience or mental toughness. The book addresses a wide variety of organizational issues including motivation, performance, staff retention, behavior, trust, attention span, and teamwork. With case studies from leading organizations across different industries internationally, authors Doug Strycharczyk and Charles Elvin explain how to develop organizational performance, well-being, and a positive approach to adversity and change in organizations.
