Solutions Resilience

As a leader, you know the importance of having the best, most resilient people on board. You want people who are adaptable, take direct action, lead by example, and exhibit hardiness, even under duress. Too often though, leaders and employees alike are just expected to embody these resiliency skills without a moment's thought as to how they will learn or develop them.

So how do you cultivate a resilient workforce?

When industry leaders like 3M, Nortel and General Mills came to us with this question, our management consulting group crafted three distinct Resiliency Initiatives based on their organizational needs. Using Essi Systems' Resiliency Map™ as one foundation, these successful companies targeted key issues such as increasing workforce energy and effectiveness under pressure, enabling organizational change and attracting and retaining the best people for their company's future.

Our experience has taught us that the most significant culture changes are those that start at the top of the house. That's why we created: The Resilient Leader - a one day program designed exclusively for executives and senior managers who want to lead by example and build exceptional competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The Resilient Leader Program will introduce your senior people to the concepts of resiliency and emotional intelligence in business, with an emphasis on the business case for leadership.

The Resilient Leader Program will assess the individual style and capacity of the members of your management team in six distinct resiliency dimensions and tie them to measurable outcomes.

The Resilient Leader Program will immediately increase individuals' capacity to stay healthy, manage conflict and exercise the powers of focused thinking.

The Resilient Leader Program features:
