A fabulous buzz word right now is "resilience" but what is resilience and how do you know if you and your business are resilient enough to survive today's challenges?

In this episode, I take an overview of the five traits common to resilient leaders. It's a holistic view which means there aren't any cute lists rather, a discussion of a range of characteristics; I set the stage here for upcoming episodes which will take a closer look at each trait.

*Yes, there are statistics, and the links below are provided for more information on my facts and figures.*
