Crisis response – What to do when your business lands in hot water
Description
Tell the truth and tell it fast, especially when faced with a crisis that has the potential to put people – and an organisation’s reputation – at risk.
Most businesses have some sort of crisis management plan to enact when threatened with turmoil, but what happens when the best laid plans fail?
Sue Cato, one of Australia’s leading crisis experts, has been at the coal face of many of those incidents, guiding an array of companies through their most vulnerable moments.
Sue explains the common mistakes leaders get wrong in a crisis, why your CEO isn’t always the best leader in tough times, and why telling the truth – and telling it early – is always the best move.
