“One of my favorite books of the past year was 'Forged in Crisis: The Power of Courageous Leadership in Turbulent Times' by Nancy Koehn. It's an inspiring compilation of stories of leadership – from Rachel Carson and Frederick Douglass, to Abraham Lincoln, Ernest Shackleton and Dietrich Bonhoeffer – that demonstrate how effective leaders are made, not born, in times of adversity.”
Nadella's own LinkedIn post for World Book Day, recommending Koehn's book and crediting her with sharpening his leadership team's thinking on resilience.
