What People Are Saying
Lara’s
book pushes managers to be empathetic, thoughtful, and most of all,
effective—even when the news is bad or the tasks are hard. Resilient
Management is filled with frameworks, checklists, tools, and, above all,
optimism for building up your team—and wow is that refreshing!
Paul Ford, CEO of Postlight
Many
of us jump into management roles without first taking the time to
reflect on who we are as leaders. Think of Lara’s book as a
self-reflection guide: it’ll help you understand and harness the power
of your unique perspective to grow healthy teams. Turn to Resilient
Management whenever you need to make big decisions or navigate tricky
conversations.
