Nothing tests a leader like a crisis. While the highly charged and often dramatic events surrounding a crisis can profoundly affect the people in an organization and even threaten its survival, there are actions a leader can take before, during and after to reduce the duration and impact of difficult situations. In this session you will learn that effective crisis leadership is comprised of three things - communication, clarity of vision and values, and caring relationships. Leaders who develop, pay attention to, and practice these qualities go a long way toward handling the human dimension of a crisis. Leaders must be prepared to manage a crisis not only within their own organization, but also within the greater orbit of their influence - clients and customers, the surrounding community, stockholders, suppliers, vendors, local government, concerned organizations, activist groups and the media. This webinar is designed to help leaders assess their strengths and weaknesses, learn new competencies and prepare for events that are as unpredictable as they are unavoidable.

You will learn how to:

  1. Be more prepared to contain a crisis;
  2. Regain control of the situation;
  3. Ensure the minimum amount of damage is done to the organization; and
  4. Effectively prevent, defuse, and reduce the duration of these extremely difficult leadership situations.

Maximizing the Value of the Webinar

  • Invite others to participate. Structure a group "lunch and learn" session and invite other colleagues to attend.
  • Debrief the lessons learned. Set aside time at the end of the Webinar to discuss takeaways, and how they apply to your group or organization
  • Tap into your training budget. Ask your HR group or manager to underwrite the Webinar as part of your organization's ongoing staff development effort.
