Welcome to this week’s #CrisisRoundup!
As classes begin to resume and summer comes to a close, I find myself looking forward to the Fall season. The beautiful colors, the smell of Autumn and the Fall fashion… I love it all! What about you? Are you looking forward to the start of Autumn, or are you sad to say goodbye to summer? I know our readers down in Australia are certainly looking forward to the weather warming up!

TCIP #012 – The Leader’s Role in Crisis Management with Jane Jordan-Meier
Jane Jordan-Meier opens this discussion with a strong statement: “A leader emerges in a crisis.” But how can you plan for a successful emergence, rather than an unsuccessful one? What are the challenges of choosing a leader or spokesperson in a crisis? Should it be the CEO of the organization or is someone else better suited for the role – and how can you determine this?
In this episode, Jane Jordan-Meier and Melissa Agnes discuss the role of a leader in a crisis. It’s an important discussion and one that we hope you will have internally after listening to this podcast. Listen here!
