The resilient supervisory leader is not a freak of nature, an accident, or an odd combination of luck and good geneticswho just happens into the job. He is intentionally resilient. He has learned to manage his assumptions, to focus on the few things in life and at work that really matter and has developed a Bias for Action.A resilient Supervisor in a High-Impact organization is a leader who thrives under pressure, leads individuals and small groups to higher levels of performance and gets results. Every one of the leaders with whom we have worked with believes people deserve good leadership. They are motivated by a deep, insatiable curiosity for how things really are. They have a nearly endless passion for the work before them and a buoyant, humble joy that brings a smile to the faces of their team, even in times of high stress and pressure.
Dr. De takes you on a trip through his insights that he’s learned about being a resilient supervisor from many people over 3 years.
There are many good points throughout the book, but the key to me is that in order to be a resilient supervisor, you must be in tune with whoever you’re supervising, must give them the tools to do the job themself,it’s take care of yourself, and must act instead of putting things off.
In sum, one must have a growth mindset and bring out the best in others to fulfill your purpose.
