This seminar explores crisis leadership challenges. Scholars and practitioners debate the nature, form and tools of effective leadership, but what happens when stakes dramatically rise, information becomes scarce and unreliable, and the time and scope of action contract? Are conventional leadership tools still the right tools, or is crisis leadership fundamentally different?
When do you follow the rules, when do you not, and what do you do when there are no rules?
Are you prepared to face the consequences? To whom do you owe your greatest obligation? Questions of integrity, accountability.
How do you manage the media, Monday morning quarterbacks?
