A great leader can pull an organization or team through a crisis, but that takes great effort and draws significant resources away from other important strategies and tasks.
This book explores the DNA of organizations that rise to greatness and then keep thriving — resilient organizations. Whenever these organizations stumble, they pick themselves up and either get back on track or change directions. Their DNA has embedded resilience in their every cell.
Any great leader can successfully pull an individual, a team or an entire organization through a crisis. But doing that time after time takes great effort and frequently pulls limited resources from other important activities. That’s why it makes sense to embed resilience into the organization’s DNA, to construct the framework and sharpen the tools to create a collective heartbeat that enables everyone in the organization to be and produce their best.
The DNA of the Resilient Organization shows how to make organizations crisis-proof, to achieve their vision despite obstacles. It shows organizations how to create a collective heartbeat, to become internally stronger and more resilient, so they can meet challenges and seize opportunities as they arise. Each time the organization overcomes a challenge, the processes and tools for resilience become more firmly embedded in its DNA, so the process is self-sustaining.
The DNA of the Resilient Organization also explains how viewing and making changes holistically leads to an environment that efficiently and successfully improves itself and is consistently able to weather storms. With each change that is made, with each problem that is encountered or resolved with this approach, the organization maximizes its ability to improve.
"As the President and CEO of a large national organization, I have had the opportunity to read many business-oriented books. In The DNA of the Resilient Organization, Sandra Suran has written what I consider to be one of the best and most useful books I have read. Through the use of relevant stories and examples, the guidance and advice is intuitively and clearly conveyed. I would recommend this book to anyone associated with an organization, to prepare for, or address, the threat of crisis."
