Leading Strategist Gary Hamel (Harvard Business Review-Sept 2003) said that resilience is "...ultimate competitive advantage in the age of turbulence - when organizations are being challenged to change more profoundly, and more rapidly, than ever before."
Being a nonprofit leader has never been easy but the demands are even greater now due to the speed of change, the challenge of the economy and required leadership skills. This session will focus on attributes that heighten both personal and organizational resilience including identification of examples from our own organizations to make this learning more concrete.
