Crises can be described in many ways - humanitarian, economic, political, biological, nature-made, man-made, war-inspired, hostage, blockades, defense, etc. In recent years, top global crises include corruption, environmental disasters, financial meltdown, gun violence, immigration, pandemics, cyber-attacks, terrorist bombings/murders, hunger, and many more. Many now expect more crises with governments and companies spending enormous amounts of money for potential future protections.
Predicting when a crisis will happen is beyond our reach but preventing, responding effectively, and remediating crises requires preparation in addition to forethought. Leaders of organizations, from city/county governments to global corporations to nations are challenged to provide crisis-related leadership. This course outlines leadership strengths that must be developed in order to effectively face and resolve/mitigate crisis issues impacting your organization or community.
"Resilience is never achieved alone or finished work - Experience allows us to learn from example. But if we have someone who loves us—I don't mean who indulges us, but who loves us enough to be on our side—then it's easier to grow resilience, to grow belief in self, to grow self-esteem. And it's self-esteem that allows a person to stand up."
