Crisis Management Skills for Executives and Managers
Leadership Under Pressure

Despite great improvements in crisis-prevention and strategic-management capabilities, actual crises often elude the best of strategic plans. How do individuals lead when plans are insufficient, when the unexpected occurs, and when core values are threatened? How do people respond to unanticipated situations when time is of the essence, and planned approaches don't work? At such times, there is a premium on flexibility, effective delegation, and rapid marshalling of resources.

In this seminar, participants will develop and hone key crisis leadership skills. Attendees learn how to identify a crisis, how to assess biases in high-pressure situations, how to manage overwhelming amounts of information that crises generate, how to organize for effective decisions, and how to create and lead an effective crisis team.

Learning is supported through case studies, films, interactive exercises, and a simulated international crisis that puts participants in a pressure-cooker situation in which their best crisis management skills will be tested. Opportunities abound throughout to share experiences in crisis leadership with others and to develop an invaluable network for ongoing support.
