Discover how to: • Be ready for the unexpected, feel calm and confident under pressure and avoid burnout • Reduce stress and anxiety by understanding the essential components of a resilient work life • Evaluate your own resilience factor with the Workplace Resilience Instrument “Jonathan Rees shows us through bright examples and actionable exercises that we, too, can thrive under pressure. Our own resilient behaviors can be modeled to match the situations we face. Although reading about what makes people resilient can be insightful, Jonathan’s battery of self-assessment tools provides the reader with specific feedback to be more effective and view adverse situations as opportunities more so than danger.” Dr. Larry Mallak, Western Michigan University, Author of 'The Workplace Resilience Instrument (WRI)' This book represents the next stage of Jonathan’s work and provides any senior leader in the public sector with an opportunity to learn and refresh the practical skills that will help them in these challenging roles. Whether you are a senior leader in policing, the NHS or elsewhere in the public sector I would recommend that you read this book and adopt its principles.
