Description
This book, written by Tod Bolsinger, offers a guide to resilient leadership, helping leaders navigate through the chaos that transition and change often bring- and coming out stronger because of it. Bolsinger believes that leaders lead more effectively when "reflection and relationships are combined into a life of deliberate practice."
Tempered Resilience offers insight into how resistance is presented in congregational life and teaches how leaders can become resilient through the pressures of transformation. Using stories to convey his message, Bolsinger shares how individuals become tempered, transformed into leaders that can make a positive difference in congregations, and in our world.
