Leading Your Organization Through a Crisis

It’s all-too-easy to shift into “action mode” during a crisis and forget that your people are experiencing great uncertainty about their futures. So, even as you experience the powerful impulse to act, temper that with a focus on coaching your people through a potentially crippling period of uncertainty.

While the situation may be very difficult, and there are no magic bullets, in this virtual event we went through a few things that can help. You could also learn what to do when:

• Taking over an organization that is in deep trouble and figuring out how to save it from failure.
• Inheriting an organization that’s in denial about its need for change and creating a sense of urgency before simmering problems force it into a turnaround situation.
