Against the Storm: How True Leaders Prevail When the World Shakes

Against the Storm: How Leaders Prevail When the World Shakes delivers exclusive insights on leading during extreme uncertainty, the threat of chaos where life or livelihood hangs in the balance. Written by retired Brigadier General, accomplished social psychologist, and strategic leader, Tom Kolditz, and highly professional Ukrainian leader developer, Mariana Khomitska, this book draws upon a wealth of real-world experiences to show listeners how to lead through market collapses, prioritize employee wellbeing while making necessary strategic pivots, and communicate transparently to maintain stakeholder confidence, such as during a company's response to a sudden and unexpected supply chain disruption.

Using a practical framework that can be applied across industries and roles, this book discusses how to lead in uncertain times, when followers are driven solely by trust; adeptly control dialogue in meetings when the pressures of crisis are apparent; see ahead and prevent unanticipated catastrophic failures; prevent the adoption of flawed plans; empower others while maintaining the necessary control over outcomes; navigate the nature of guilt and shame in crisis leadership; lead through medical uncertainty that emerges in family life; and work through tragedies in crisis, such as bankruptcies, collapsing relationships, and deaths.

Revealing a completely original approach to crisis leadership that other, less-experienced authors simply do not have the experience to formulate, Against the Storm is an eye-opening book for all executives and business leaders seeking true wisdom on how to handle the hardest challenges that will come their way.
