Reviews

In times of crisis, leadership that restores confidence, connects people, inspires growth, and creates a resilience culture that radiates to all aspects of life is priceless. This book inspires the growth of such leadership like none other I've read. It masterfully integrates leadership, crisis management, and resilience--brilliantly weaving together research, application, inspiration, and wisdom. Heroic leadership is not simple, or easy, but this work makes it as simple and achievable as possible. It will help any leader or aspiring leader. If you read only one leadership book, this could be the one. I'll refer to it again and again. I enthusiastically recommend it.--Glenn R. Schiraldi, PhD, Lt. Col. (USAR, ret.), University of Maryland School of Public Health (ret.), College Park, MD, United States; author, World War II Survivors: Lessons in Resilience; The Resilience Workbook; The Adverse Childhood Experiences Recovery Workbook Leading Beyond Crisis: The Five Pillars of Transformative Resilient Leadership is a masterful guide to that rare ability to lead through and beyond crisis, building stronger people and organizations along the way. The ability to develop a culture of resilience has never been more essential to the people and organizations that leaders serve. Everly and Athey teach us how to lead in the most effective of ways. This book is essential reading for all interested in leadership. Prepare to be inspired to lead in a strong, bold, and honorable way. This is a transformative read!--Victor Welzant, PsyD, International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, Inc., Ellicott City, MD, United States As if to reinforce the adage ""necessity is the mother of invention,"" one of the pioneers in his field, Dr. Everly links three crucial topics of our time (effective leadership, resilience, and crisis management) in a practical, easy-to-read book that should be studied by all who have been tasked to keep us safe and prospering. For their sake and ours, I hope Leading Beyond Crisis will set the new standard for how our leaders, no matter what their domain, are measured.--Alan M. Langlieb, MD, MPH, MBA, Coeditor, Mental Health and Productivity in the Workplace; Medical Director, Inpatient Psychiatry, Medstar Georgetown University Hospital; Associate Professor, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington, DC, United States
