Resilient Leadership: Overcoming Obstacles In Order To Give Back To Others

Leaders find themselves in not only unchartered territories but a world we barely recognize. As businesses begin to tackle what going back to work will look like, leaders have to figure out how to carve out the way forward. We’ve never done this before. But that means we are ripe for a truly transformational opportunity. Leaders can play a critical role in changing the world for the better but they will need to step in and engage their staff in a much more connected, vulnerable and resilient manner.

To gather insight on this topic, I recently interviewed Liz Elting, Founder and CEO of the Elizabeth Elting Foundation and Founder and former Co-CEO of TransPerfect, the world’s largest translation company. Elting is one of the world’s most successful self-made women, appearing on Forbes’ list of “Richest Self-Made Women” every year since its inception. She also saw her company through world-shaking global crises including 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis, emerging stronger from both.
