“LEADERS Magazine is proud to partner with the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center at the Atlantic Council on this special feature on climate preparedness. This is a critical time to address the concept of resilience and the ability to better prepare for, navigate, and recover from shocks and stresses.

We have assembled a broad range of global thought leaders and experts who are currently tackling the challenges and crises facing the world from different perspectives. This feature includes elected officials, business executives, nonprofits, military leaders, members of the arts community, renowned athletes, and journalists, each sharing their thoughts and reflections on resilience.

Is resilience innate or learned? Can it be cultivated in individuals? How do we build the concept of resilience into the ethos and culture of our organizations? What are the sustainable and replicable resilience solutions to the seemingly intractable global challenges affecting billions of individuals?

At this challenging and uncertain time in our history, we hope that this feature will provide hope and inspiration from those who have faced adversity as individuals, communities and organizations and risen to the challenge and come back better and stronger.

We would value your thoughts on this issue and to hearing how resilience is impacting your work and your organization.”
