BSP 081: The Crucible’s Gift: 5 Lessons from Authentic Leaders who Thrive in Adversity by Dr. James Kelley

Dr. James Kelley, author of The Crucible’s Gift: 5 Lessons from
Authentic Leaders who Thrive in Adversity, defines ‘crucible’ as
micromoments — “small moments that create meaning,” positive or
negative. Kelley says each crucible is an opportunity to learn
about who we are because knowing who we are as people helps us get
out of our own way and thrive. Knowing who people are is crucial
because, he says, “I don’t care what you do. I care who you are
because who you are defines what you do.” Kelley wrote the book for
aspiring managers who want to move to the next level and for
leaders at the top who aren’t as self-aware as they should be or
aware of their weaknesses. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
