Leading a team or an entire organization in the best of times is challenging. Leading during a crisis is overwhelming. Crises magnify the strengths and weaknesses of a leader. It is during these times that a leader is truly tested in their leadership ability and acumen.
In this webinar, we’ll review the academic and scientific research that forms the basis of our crisis thinking and how to make the next right decision for your team and your organization.
These are not general platitudes about good leadership principles. These are highly tactical, applicable strategies that you can use today in communicating with your staff, your donors, and the general public. You don’t have the time today to review and apply the relevant research.
This webinar will provide you the tools to transition between leader and crisis leader. Bring a notebook, you’ll want to apply these ideas before the webinar ends.
