As you anticipate the wealth of insights you’ll hear from General McChrystal at The Global Leadership Summit this August, enjoy a preview of his teaching in this three-part series, brought to you by the McChrystal Group, on what it takes to build resilience on your team.
Three Ways to Build Resilience
Building Resilience Requires Stability (Part 1)
Resilient teams have a clear north star—a common purpose—that binds teammates together. These teams know why their work matters and how their efforts fit within the bigger picture. Leaders must communicate their goals and messages clearly and serve as the stabilizing force—reinforcing the common purpose with their thoughts and actions. Watch Part 1 >>
Building Resilience Requires Connection (Part 2)
Even the most resilient individuals are going to have days that challenge them. A resilient team made up of diverse individuals is stronger than a resilient individual. Together, they can leverage strong communication and awareness to build their connections within their team and across their organization—ultimately becoming more resilient. Watch Part 2 >>
Building Resilience Requires Agility (Part 3)
To be resilient, organizations must be agile. Agility requires action and empowerment, or the ability, willingness and encouragement to adapt to changing conditions. To enable agility, leaders must think like a gardener—creating an ecosystem where people in the organization are encouraged to act based on the conditions on the ground. To be agile, organizations must make the team their strength. Watch Part 3 >>

The Global Leadership Summit
GLN Staff Writer
The Global Leadership Summit (GLS) is a two-day infusion of actionable leadership insights and inspiration broadcast to hundreds of host sites across the United States every August. In the following months, the GLS is translated, contextualized and hosted by local leadership committees at hundreds of locations across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. This global event convenes a world-class faculty who share their distinct perspectives and expertise, inspiring and equipping people around the world with practical leadership skills that can be applied within their context, wherever they have influence, and used to empower positive transformation where it’s needed most. Attracting an audience that represents various industries, including marketplace, non-profit, healthcare, education, government, ministry and corrections, the GLS has become a unique platform, unlike any other, bringing people together to not only empower better leadership within the organizations they represent, but in a growing number of cases around the world, this event also acts as a catalyst for organic local movements initiating systemic, city-wide change. What started as a single event back in 1990’s, the GLS has grown to attract tens of thousands of people today.
