Trauma to Triumph: A Roadmap for Leading Through Disruption (and Thriving on the Other Side)

How to successfully navigate through crisis or trauma-and come out stronger on the other side. This leadership roadmap shows you the way. Organizational trauma takes many forms. It could be a pandemic that disrupts everything about the way people work. An economic meltdown. An act of violence. A failed merger. A layoff-or continual threats of one. Whatever the scenario, events like these can traumatize leaders and employees, sending everyone into survival mode. If the crisis is not "named and claimed" as trauma and managed effectively, it's sure to linger on in the form of chronic stress and anxiety. And left unspoken and unaddressed, blame, shame, and guilt often permeate the culture of the organization and erode its ability to thrive in the future. Here's the good news: when leaders navigate a traumatic event effectively, the organization doesn't just survive. It can be transformed and flourish in ways previously unimagined. In Trauma to Triumph: A Roadmap for Leading Through Disruption and Thriving on the Other Side, Mark Goulston, MD, and Diana Hendel present a visionary and tactical roadmap to help leaders create stability in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, move productively through a traumatic event, and come out even stronger and better on the other side. Here are just a few things you'll learn: - How the survival mechanism manifests in employees and leaders in the midst of trauma - The predictable polarities, dilemmas, tensions and other patterns that emerge in traumatized organizations…and how to break these cycles - Why lack of clarity in roles and poor communication are so dangerous in times of crisis (and how to avoid these common pitfalls) - How leaders can shift to a mindset that helps them create feelings of trust, confidence, safety, respect, and inspiration in employees. - Best practices for leading yourself and others through crisis; grieving losses, embracing healthy coping mechanisms, reframing, and more - How to launch a rapid-response process that allows you to "control the controllables" and create a framework for making better decisions in the throes of crisis - High-impact tactics to help your organization recover and heal in a way that doesn't just return to baseline, but transcends it Filled with tools and tactics, Trauma to Triumph is an organization-wide blueprint for navigating a future where we're likely to experience one stretch of whitewater after another. It gives leaders at every level the guidance they need to create confidence, courage, and enthusiasm in their team. It's not just about being prepared for future crises. It's also about leading in a new way in the times of stability in between-a way that creates a stronger, better company.

Why Cope When You Can Heal?: How Healthcare Heroes of COVID-19 Can Recover from PTSD

Why Cope When You Can Heal? is an essential resource for doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals-and the leaders who support them-as they navigate the traumatic stress they have experienced and continue to face. COVID-19 has traumatized the world-and no group has been more impacted than frontline healthcare workers. They've worked without adequate personal protective equipment (PPE), witnessed mass death, and been forced to make choices that haunt them. Many have fallen ill, while others have worried endlessly about their own health and that of their loved ones. And even after months of battling this invisible enemy, no end is in sight. Additionally, all of this is happening in the context of a divided nation, a struggling industry, and a "just get over it" culture that exacerbates the problems healthcare workers face, while minimizing their suffering. These factors have created the perfect storm for widespread stress, depression, anxiety, and hopelessness-and, increasingly, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This empathetic and concise guide contains: - real-world accounts and experiences from frontline workers; - an overview of treatment options; and - exercises, tools, and tips that you can use today. Read this book to help yourself-and those you love and support in the COVID-19 battle-begin the process of healing from the inside out and reconnect with the joys and rewards of career and life. "This is the book we as clinicians need right now . . . (it) will save lives." --Stephen K. Klasko, MD, MBA, Pres/CEO Thomas Jefferson University/Jefferson Health "This quick and easy read will benefit many on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic and is an essential addition to any organization looking to help their teams thrive and build resilience in the midst of chronic stress and leadership burnout." --Myra Gregorian, Chief People Officer, Seattle Children's "A must-read for every healthcare provider or leader . . . filled with hope, inspiration, and lots of practical, evidence-based techniques and treatments for managing traumatic stress." --Jagat Narula, MD, PhD, Chief of Cardiology, Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital
