Given the uncertainty of our times and the increasing pace of change, what does it take to continue to stretch productively without snapping, snapping back, or losing your shape?
People are constantly being asked to stretch-in too many directions and for too long. It feels unsustainable. ELASTIC draws on a metaphor, an acronym and a series of conversations with inspiring community-based leaders to help you understand what’s happening and explore practical strategies to build ‘stretchiness’ in yourself and with others. Based on over 25 years of experience working with leaders across sectors, this book’s core message of needing to stretch, without snapping or snapping back, will resonate as deeply true. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just starting out, feeling over-stretched or under-challenged, this book provides you with reassurance, wise counsel, and encouragement as you seek your optimal level of stretch and strengthen your elasticity.
