Crisis/Disaster Leadership: Protecting People Around the Crisis
Disorderly protests. Hostage situations. Extreme weather. Violence on campus. It's impossible to control whether a crisis will happen at your institution. However, you can control the way you react to it and learn to handle it in a way that will protect your people and your institution or nation's reputation.
​
Our Crisis Leadership program will help you respond to crises effectively, develop protocols and practices that minimize the potential for future occurrences and inspire confidence in the long-term success of your institution, region or nation.
