Resilient leadership is the ability of a leader to see failures as temporary setbacks and recover quickly from those failures to bring organisations back to normal. Resilient leaders maintain a positive attitude and a strong sense of opportunity during periods of turbulence. The characteristics of a resilient leader include: having a vision, being self-conscious, being attentive, having courage, having a positive attitude, having motivation, having composure, having reasoning, having tenacity, and being able to collaborate. The present study focuses on how resilient leadership is paramount in these post-pandemic hard times in organisations across the globe. A majority of the organisations in the world were badly affected by COVID-19, except a few industries like pharmaceuticals, software and services, and fast moving consumer goods (FMCGs). This case study showcases the resilient leadership of Sir Winston Churchill during World War II against the tyrant, blood thirsty, warmonger Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Germany. This article analyses the attributes of Sir Winston Churchill as a resilient leader and why the same kind of vision, composure, and tenacity are required for business leadership, and leaders of the world, to overcome the unprecedented pandemic of monumental proportions, which posed the greatest challenge to mankind.
