Why We Need Resilient Leaders and How to Find Them

Kelsey Klausing

About the session: A presentation and conversation about the importance of finding and

developing resilient leaders. While managing expenses during a recessionary environment is

prudent, companies should not lose focus on their investment in their leadership. Talent strategy

is a key imperative to an organization's survival through a turbulent economic landscape. The

session will define resilient leadership and highlight its importance, introduce research-based

insights about the personality of a resilient leader, and showcase data about the prevalence of

resilient leaders in various industries. The audience will be invited to share their best practices for

identifying and developing resilient leaders.
