109 | Resilient Leadership Tod Bolsinger

Tod’s a gold mine of valuable content and today is featuring the introduction from his book Tempered Resilience: How Leaders Are Formed in the Crucible of Change.

Many of us have had more pressure in our professional lives over the past two years than ever before. Most of it comes from change taking place.

Regardless of covid, shipping or stock issues, or employees leaving – we’ve got goals to hit. And it’s stressful.

Stress doesn’t have to be bad, but it could be.

Enter Tod’s book, which focuses on the forge and the art of blacksmithing. Stress is an essential part of taking a piece of raw steel and turning it into something useful.

Too much stress and the tool will look strong but be brittle under the surface.
Too little heat and you’ll be using much more force to get the metal to take shape. And it’ll ultimately fail under pressure as well.

Please enjoy the introduction to “Tempered Resilience: How leaders Are Formed in the Crucible of Change.”
