Resilience at Work gives readers the motivation and tools to work constructively and remain hardy through difficult situations, and turn stressful changes in the workplace into golden opportunities.

The key to success is their resilience, according to the founders of the innovative Hardiness Institute in Newport Beach, California. More than experience or training, resilience in the face of stressful situations and rapid changes determines whether you ultimately succeed or fail in the workplace.

Resilience at Work gives you the knowledge, tools, and encouragement you need to embark on your journey to becoming a hardier, more successful person.

Packed with insightful examples, case studies, and self-assessment tools, Resilience at Work explains how to:

• Approach change as a meaningful challenge no matter how stressful the circumstances, and stay committed to your work, rather than detaching and giving up.

• Gain control by understanding the upside and the downside of change, and take actions to influence beneficial outcomes.

• Turn stressful changes to your advantage and map out sound problem-solving strategies.

• Resolve ongoing conflicts and build an environment of assistance and encouragement between you and your coworkers.
