Resillence

Recovery from setbacks is treated as a skill that can be practised, not a temperament people either have or lack. Part of the HBR Emotional Intelligence Series, this short volume collects pieces by Daniel Goleman, Shawn Achor and Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld among others, on how resilient people and organisations respond to stress, criticism and failure. The articles cover reframing a reversal, sustaining motivation through a difficult stretch, and the difference between simple endurance and genuine recovery. The format is deliberately compact, which makes it usable for readers who want the substance without a full-length management book. What readers get: • A compact volume in the HBR Emotional Intelligence Series • Contributions from Daniel Goleman and Shawn Achor • Techniques for handling criticism and reversals • Emphasis on resilience as a learnable practice Suited to professionals, team leaders and students of emotional intelligence, available from Boipoka.
