Leading through Crisis: Developing the Skills to Assess and Cope with Any Situation 

Friday, September 5, 2008   |  11:00 AM to 12:15 PM Eastern

Course Description:

No matter the size of your organization, maintaining the viability of your business processes in the event of a disruption is critical to survival.  Does your management team have what it takes to lead and thrive during a crisis?  Do they know how to engage in crisis prevention and mitigation activities BEFORE a crisis breaks?

Crisis comes in many devastating forms: sudden events, such as fires, natural disasters, terrorism or workplace violence; a public lawsuit, layoffs, an information leak, or a product recall.  Yet, the one thing every type of crisis has in common is the ability to cripple your company and ruin its reputation.

Scrutiny from regulators, shareholders, and customers will increase a hundredfold during a crisis. And, without superior crisis management skills, maintaining your business edge will be practically impossible.

Crisis management skills and techniques are essential to assess and cope with any serious situation.  From the moment it first occurs to the point that recovery procedures begin. Find out how to prepare your team for leadership in any situation.

In this timely audio conference, you'll learn about the Five Tenets of Effective Crisis Response.  You'll also learn how to:

• Assess and minimize your vulnerabilities pre-crisis
• Develop a crisis communications process
• Define roles & responsibilities
• Tackle key issues during the first 24 to 48 hours
• Maintain poise and professionalism during the crisis
• Stay on track when the stuff is hitting the fan
• Keep the media wolves at bay
