Critical Situations – It Hit the Fan…Now What? (1.5 Hours)

It’s been said that reputations are won or lost in crises.  As many leaders have experienced first-hand, crisis situations—whether natural or manmade—can quickly test their preparedness and resolve, as well as the ability to be successful.  Challenging situations come in many different shapes and sizes.  If you have been in leadership any length of time, you have encountered times of uncertainty and concern.  It is during these times in which quality leadership steps to the forefront and produces the results needed for success.  Are you going to get out in front with your message or wait until someone else tells the story?  Joe draws on his experience to discusses best practices, communication strategies and key concepts to lead your organization under pressure.
