Session Description
Have you ever wondered what makes certain leaders truly resilient? What qualities do they share? Who do you consider a resilient leader? Dr. TJ Lintz of Hilti North America has researched these questions for years, and he's now here to share what he's learned with the interstory community!
In this workshop session, TJ will present his research conducted at Hilti North America across three levels of leadership: frontline manager, director and executive. He'll also discuss leader resilience, which he's defined as "the capacity of a leader to absorb, adapt and rebound from disruptive events with added strength and resolve and an absence of dysfunctional behavior and minimal loss of momentum."
Community members will have an opportunity to consider their personal resilience and how to develop resilience in themselves and in their teams through three key areas of TJ's research: self-care, mindset and leader communication.
Session Format
