Leading from the Stop: Positive Influence and Heartfelt Resilience in Times of Adversity Elias Kanaris

LEADERSHIP LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE PEOPLE OF NEWFOUNDLAND, CANADA, IN THE AFTERMATH OF 9/11: DURING TIMES OF ADVERSITY, CHANGE REQUIRES RESILIENCE




Elias Kanaris offers an insider's view of what happened on 9/11 when the plane he was flying on was diverted, alongside another 37 planes, to Gander International Airport due to the terrorist acts in NYC and DC. What the passengers expected was going to be a short layover, turned into five days as they were hosted by the Salvation Army in Newfoundland, Canada.




Kanaris details how the town transformed from 9,300 locals to 16,000 people needing to be housed and feed through three lenses. He reviews it from the locals' viewpoint (fondly referred to as the 'Newfies'), the United Airlines pilot and crew, and other passengers.




Whether you're leading a multinational or leading yourself, Kanaris offers leadership lessons learned from the people of Newfoundland, Canada, in the aftermath of 9/11. In this book, Elias Kanaris takes us through the transition that he and other passengers had to make during this extraordinary time.




What transition do you need to make right now? And do you have enough resilience to say, 'I can make it!'
