description: Christian Book Award Finalist What type of leadership is needed in a moment that demands adaptive change? Tod Bolsinger author of Canoeing the Mountains  is uniquely positioned to explore the qualities of adaptive leadership in contexts ranging from churches to nonprofit organizations. He deftly examines both the external challenges we face and the internal resistance that holds us back. Bolsinger writes: To temper describes the process of heating holding hammering cooling and reheating that adds stress to raw iron until it becomes a glistening knife blade or chisel tip. When reflection and relationships are combined into a life of deliberate practice leaders become both stronger and more flexible. As a result these resilient leaders are able to offer greater wisdom and skill to the organizations they serve. Also available: Tempered Resilience Study Guide
