ABSTRACT

This chapter describes strategies for building one's resilience as a business leader and provide one with systems and structures for strengthening one's company’s ability to withstand future crises. Resilient leaders take decisive action – with courage – based on imperfect information, knowing that expediency is essential. Shambapro is an agtech company that provides farmers with access to quality farm inputs. Through its online platform, farmers can search, order, and pay for farm inputs by Mobile money and have their purchases delivered to them anywhere in the country. Agrimod Solutions Center is a Kenyan based organization that provides specialized services in organic farming systems and technologies to agripreneurs toward promoting food security, environmental sustainability, and biodiversity. A key reason many businesses die following a crisis is because they cannot meet their financial obligations to their suppliers and employees.
