Leadership

Crisis Leadership Workshop

Planning for Unexpected Challenges

Overview

How do you lead when the unexpected occurs, your plans are insufficient and your core values are threatened? Through case studies, films, interactive exercises and simulated crises, you will learn to identify a crisis, assess your own biases in high-pressure situations, manage the overwhelming amounts of information that crises generate, organize for effective decisions and create and lead an effective crisis team.  You will identify your personal strengths in relating when you are threatened and learn to manage relationships before, during and after a crisis. You will share your experiences in crisis leadership and develop an invaluable network for ongoing support.
