Resilience and Renewal: The Story of Lions International and The Crisis of COVID-19 by Robert S. Littlefield

What happens when the plan stops working? During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lions Clubs International faced a global shutdown that threatened the organization’s ability to serve communities around the world. Instead of collapsing under pressure, members adapted in real time — revealing powerful lessons about leadership, resilience, and organizational survival. In this episode of The Curated Chapter, host Sam Youmans explores the book Resilience and Renewal with author Robert S. Littlefield, examining how one of the world’s largest service organizations navigated crisis, uncertainty, and rapid change during COVID-19. Rather than focusing only on top leadership, the conversation explores how everyday members, local action, and mission-driven thinking helped Lions International continue serving more than 200 countries during one of the most disruptive global events in modern history. 🎧 Subscribe to The Curated Chapter: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/newsgram-with-sam-youmans/id1538829569 📘 Learn more about the book: https://www.amazon.com/RESILIENCE-RENEWAL-International-Crisis-COVID-19-ebook/dp/B0DZBD3FKZ Get your copy of Resilience and Renewal: The Story of Lions International and the Crisis of COVID-19 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/RESILIENCE-RENEWAL-International-Crisis-COVID-19-ebook/dp/B0DZBD3FKZ/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KOmppBsESR4dRbTtUwV-kQ.sTRp3UtvAZZoXvAgqnj1Rago9hGBTUeoSmLu4JNlqlY&dib_tag=se&keywords=9798823043311&qid=1772576910&sr=8-1
