Risky Business

Creating a culture for coping with crisis

How effective would your team be in a crisis situation?
Do you know how to lead your team effectively through difficult issues?
How can you effectively prepare people for ‘whatever comes next’?

You can’t afford to wait until it is put to the test. It is important to know ahead of time how you and your team would cope in a crisis situation, and to know how to prepare yourself better to cope under pressure.

Leaders must learn to determine the urgency of issues, and need to realize that issues can quickly transform into crises if they are not dealt with adequately. The longer an issue survives, the fewer choices are available and the more it costs – while early action allows for flexible and creative thinking.

This seminar session reveals that it is actually the way we handle potential and actual risk that defines our ability to deal with issues and possibly stop them from escalating into crises, both individually and as corporate groups or teams. Learning to weigh up risk and manage issues effectively before they arise can make all the difference in individual and team performance under pressure.

The ability to define what might happen in the future and to think about the possible alternatives has shaped the way contemporary societies function. The capacity to manage risk and the appetite to take risk on board and make forward looking choices are both key elements in producing the energy that drives economic systems forward.

How issues are handled can mean the difference between a crisis out of control and a proactive solution – between profit and loss. All organisations must learn to move away from one-way information flow and towards active internal and external dialogue.

Learn about your personal reaction to handling issues
