Holistic Leadership Resilience: Whole Life Lessons From The Third Sector

Drawing on decades of experience in the charity sector and enriched by real-life examples, this book helps readers to consider how to be a more resilient leader and explores why a whole-life approach could be a gamechanger in today’s world.The world we live and work in has changed exponentially over the last few years, and all sectors share an increased emphasis on sustainability, self-care, and resilience.But these last two concepts appear contradictory: how can we keep bouncing back from setbacks when we need a break?Based on her doctoral study carried out over three years - and almost 20 years heading up the Third-Sector leadership body in Scotland - Patricia Armstrong shows that resilience is much more holistic than previously thought.It’s not just about what we do that keeps us resilient; it’s also how we think and how we take into account the environment around us.Readers will find new thinking, tools to help assess where focus is needed, and ways to consider proactive resilience
