Adversity intelligence (AQ) is a gauge of how you deal with stress and crisis. But as a leader, you not only face your own adversities, but also help your team face theirs too.

This course aims to provide a framework for leaders to understand what AQ is and how one can enhance it for yourself and your employees.
