Overview
Becoming a Self-Reliant Leader was crafted from author Jan Rutherford’s Crucible® Expedition wilderness experiences. This insightful, practical guide explores each step of the Crucible journey and how its lessons can be applied to today’s leadership challenges.
The lessons are based around the three pillars of Self-Reliant Leadership®—leading yourself, leading others, and leading an organization—and include how to:
- Develop courage, curiosity, and grit to confront challenges and lead your team effectively
- Select the right people for your team—people who are selfless, adventurous, and heroic
- Create the right direction, pace, and tone to sustain a culture of disciplined duty
- Design and maintain a positive and energized work environment
- Build mutual, genuine trust among team members and fellow leaders where true commitment versus mere compliance prevails
This compilation of lessons and stories from past expeditions offers business leaders more than just an exciting read—it’s a proven recipe to creating and sustaining high-performing teams.
