Resource: Checklist for Building Resilience Monday 14 November 2016 Share Share to LinkedIn Share to Facebook Share via email Failures and crises are an inevitable part of a manager’s professional life. They can be devastating, life-changing, and transformative. They can make or break a career, ruin working relationships and working cultures, and potentially break a business, with detrimental effects for all concerned. Several high-profile cases have shown how catastrophic failures have seemingly done irreparable damage to personal and organisational reputations.Although mistakes and crises are acknowledged as part of a manager’s working life, they are too often ignored or, worse still, frowned upon.
