One of my favorite books of the past year was "Forged in Crisis: The Power of Courageous Leadership in Turbulent Times" by Nancy Koehn. It’s an inspiring compilation of stories of leadership – from Rachel Carson and Frederick Douglass, to Abraham Lincoln, Ernest Shackleton and Dietrich Bonhoeffer – that demonstrate how effective leaders are made, not born, in times of adversity. As Nancy shared with our leadership team recently, “The bigger the mission, the more worthy the endeavor, the more obstacles that will come your way. So you’d better start honing those muscles of resilience to make your team stronger.” It was such an honor to meet with and learn from Nancy. What are you reading on #WorldBookDay?
