Crisis Management
Sometimes things can go wrong.
And if they do, your reputation will rest on how well you manage them. From the first confusing hours to the final resolution, it's how you manage the crisis for the long-term that will make or break your reputation.
The essence of crisis management is simplicity. You need someone to create effective boundaries around the problem, so that you can do your job, whilst communicating effectively with alt hose who are affected - the public, your customers, your staff, your stakeholders.
Crisis management requires three key people working closely together. The person who takes responsibility and makes the decisions: The expert, who can explain the problem and help to restore normality: and the communicator, who can convey information and reassurance to the public and your stakeholders.
Most people recognise that things will go wrong at times. The crucial issue is how you handle it when they do.
