About The Book

Want to Unleash the “Remarkable” in Your Team?

You are probably wrestling with this question already.

You want your team to be remarkable.

But how? What’s missing? The resilience factor. That’s what sets great leaders and teams apart from those that literally fall apart. It’s what’s missing when great organizations lose steam.

The potential of a team of God-inspired, talented, committed people is boundless.

But without resilience, including the savvy and skill to get up again (and again) and find fresh wind, teams simply cannot thrive or lead well. Cultivating resilience releases the remarkable.

In The Resilience Factor, you’ll find a series of practical steps that both inspire and equip teams to move from floundering to flourishing, while catalyzing their capacity to do remarkable work.

Filled with the best practices of top-performing teams, individual and group reflection questions, diagnostic tools, and team activities, The Resilience Factor promises to become the go-to resource for leaders in organizations who want to release remarkable resilience in their teams.

The recent reset means we’re all rookies. And with so many leaders throwing in the towel this is one of the most practical books to help you assess your situation and pioneer this moment with confidence. It’s not a manual for what to do. It’s a guide to rediscover the redemptive edge your specific team offers your specific community in this hour of need. No two teams will come out with the same answers but every single team will finish with a plan of attack.

Grant Skeldon

​​If the past decade has taught leaders anything, it's that great teams don't endure against all odds by failing to change. Instead, they use setbacks and chaos to grow stronger, resilient, and ready for the future. This book will teach your team exactly how to do that.
