Providing Effective Crisis Leadership Workshop

Almost 50% of organisations have no crisis management plan according to the Institute of Crisis Management. A significant number who do, still feel unprepared. Many senior leadership teams shy away from effective crisis proofing because, let’s face it, it feels unpleasant to think about all these potential disasters and what they could do to our organisations. Denial is our greatest enemy when it comes to being crisis prepared.


Our Smart Thinking for Times of Crisis workshop begins with looking at our need to personally lead ourselves at the beginning of a crisis. We look at how anxiety prevents us from making smart decisions and therefore what we need to do to deescalate anxiety and reengage our executive thinking.


Secondly, we look at how we can intervene to help our team to likewise deescalate anxiety and reengage smart thinking. Utilising tried and tested crisis negotiation techniques, we provide you with simple but effective tools for leading your team when the pressure is on and negative emotions are ramped up.


Finally, we then apply these tools to overcome our own negative emotions and our desire to avoid looking at crisis scenarios. We face the potential for crises head-on and look at how we can begin to crisis-proof our organisations.

 

You will learn:

  • Techniques to manage the anxiety produced by a crisis to be able to make smart decisions.
  • How to lead your team for greatest effectiveness utilising proven crisis negotiation techniques.
  • The biggest threat to your organisation being crisis prepared and how to confront it.
  • How to crises prepare your organisation, and in doing so build a stronger and better organisation.
