Resilient leadership and quality of life from counseling: an analytic review

Abstract

This article analyzes the contribution of resilient leadership in times of crisis from the praxis of the Counsellor to the improvement of the quality of life, as well as the conceptual and theoretical aspects that determine its importance with the work of the Counselor in the promotion and development of human potential. The methodology was based on literature review: refereed papers published in scientific journals and queries of texts concerned to the area under research were considered to carry it on. Findings from authors like Seligman (2005) Garassini y Camelli (2012), Peréz (2012), Gómez y Leal (2010), Labourdette y Scaricabarozzi (2010), Castejón y Zamora (2002), Fung (2014), Martínez and García (2012) were analyzed from their theoretical and conceptual approaches and their contributions to the area. The conclusions show resilient leadership development in the work of the Counsellor, because he/she influences over an adverse situation turning it into a positive way through the praxis, generating a process of a successful adaptation to the difficulties or threats being experienced by the ones who are cared by the professional of Psychosocial health. Finally, it is suggested further research on resilient leadership in the work of the Counsellor since there are few studies from a specific methodology showing unquestionable results on the matter.
