Description

Fortune 500 leadership advisor and former Green Beret Jan Rutherford and leadership development consultant and former assistant professor at the United States Military Academy Jacquie Jordan have created the ultimate prescriptive handbook on what it takes to design and lead energized and effective teams in an increasingly complex and uncertain global landscape.

Crafted from Rutherford’s Crucible® Expeditions wilderness experience, Becoming a Self-Reliant Leader is a practical guide that explores each step of the Crucible journey and how its lessons can be applied to today’s leadership challenges. 

These lessons are based around the three pillars of Self-Reliant Leadership®—leading yourself, leading others, and leading an organization—and include how to:

  • Develop courage, curiosity, and grit to confront adversity and lead your team to success
  • Select the right people for your team—people who are selfless, adventurous, and heroic
  • Create the right direction, pace, and tone to achieve any goal
  • Design and maintain a positive and energized work environment
  • Build mutual, genuine trust among team members and fellow leaders

Whether they’re leaping across icy chasms or scaling slabs of rock, Crucible Expedition participants are pushed to their mental and physical limits—and emerge on the other side renewed and more durable than ever before, with a new understanding of how overcoming hardship refines our skills and accelerates our growth. 

This compilation of lessons and stories from past expeditions offers business leaders more than just an exciting read—it’s a proven recipe to creating and sustaining high-performing teams.Jan Rutherford is a former Green Beret and founder of Self-Reliant Leadership® where he coaches executives, and leads Crucible® wilderness expeditions with executives and veterans.
