Make resilience part of how you lead

Some moments in leadership demand more than expertise. Deadlines slip, expectations shift, and the room watches how you respond. Mental resilience is what helps you stay oriented, choose the next step, and keep judgment steady under pressure. HBR’s books on grit, confidence, and composure show how to develop that skill in the context of day-to-day work.
