Qualities Of The Resilient Information Leader

Resilience has become a buzzword, but in the new and stressful world of information governance, it’s a concept well worth exploring, according to Barclay T.

Under this kind of pressure, what makes one person “seemingly bulletproof while another person, who appears to have every emotional advantage, crumbles when faced with minor adversity”? The author identifies five critical traits that he says make for the “resilient information leader.”
