Supporting Others in Times of Loss: Stories of Grief, Trauma, and Leadership.
This book examines leaders who have experienced grief and loss both from a quantitative and qualitative lens to tell personal stories to establish the problem clearly, help organizations see the need for leader support, and above all, create policy change to support leaders. Though extensive literature exists on how leaders should support their employees through times of grief, loss, and trauma, the topic of how leaders can get through their own grief is missing from the cannon. During the pandemic, many suffered tragedies over and over again, but this is not a new concept as grief is a universal experience and one that leaders have struggled to work through as they manage other employees.
