The Resilient Leader: Why Your Development Is Your Team's Performance

Gallup's research across 2.7 million employees found that managers account for at least 70% of the variance in how engaged — and how well — their teams feel at work, which means what's happening inside the leader ripples directly into the performance of the people around them. This blog makes the case for why your development as a leader is inseparable from your team's performance — exploring the six specific, observable behaviours that distinguish resilient leaders, how The Resilience Wheel applies in a leadership context, and the three reflective questions that separate reactive leaders from resilient ones. The commercial argument is straightforward: at Cooplands Bakery, the first cohort of The Resilient Leader Programme generated £500,000 in provable returns and a 1,100% ROI.
