Baltimore, Maryland, Us

Most people in leadership positions are effective leaders and communicators during normal operations. The various affects and impacts of a crisis incident creates an environment where smart, skilled people may find themselves outside their comfort zone but are still expected (by their supervisors, their peers, the teams they lead, their external stakeholders) to perform with and exhibit the same (or greater) leadership skills as they do during normal, "blue sky" days - to be calm, to effectively assess the situation based on available information, and to provide clear direction and guidance to their teams, executive teams, partners, regulators, and to external stakeholders. These behavioral straits and performance skills may not come naturally to people, even those who perform brilliantly during non-crisis times. However, these traits, skills and abilities may be taught and / or reinforced through a series of facilitated learning sessions, followed by discussion and operations-based exercises designed to reinforce that learning.
