" Much of the fear and uncertainty surrounding the global recession is concerned with the adverse impact it will have on organizations and society. However, recessions are nothing new. We know from past experience that when a recession is over, there always emerge organizations and individuals who have not only survived but have thrived. They often emerge stronger, fitter and better performing.Developing Resilient Organizations argues that one of the fundamental keys to survival in these circumstances is resilience or mental toughness. It can turn challenge and change into an opportunity rather than a threat. The book addresses a wide variety of organizational issues including motivation, performance, staff retention, behavior, trust, attention span and teamwork. With case studies from leading organizations across different industries internationally, it shows readers how to develop organizational performance, well-being and a positive approach to adversity and change in organizations"-- Provided by publisher.
