Our crisis leadership skills service will help prepare your senior team to lead the response to emergencies
We believe that confident leadership is the key to successful organisational response to a crisis or disruptive situation. Taking day to day strategic leadership skills and applying them to the pace and complexity of an emergency can be daunting for even the most experienced senior leader.
Our team work with organisations around the globe to nurture and build the crisis leadership capabilities in your board and senior management teams.
How we can support you
One of our specialist areas of expertise is in providing consultancy support to help clients to understand the leadership roles, responsibilities and behaviours required for effective decision making and information sharing at all levels of operations.
We can also help to build cohesiveness in your crisis senior leadership team through engagement sessions to help define agreed crisis leadership behaviours and values appropriate to your organisation.
At the start of our work with you, we will take time to understand the current levels of emergency leadership capability within your organisation. We will help you to identify the competencies that you would most like to enhance and then develop an action plan to do so.
We will then work with you to define the bespoke crisis leadership support you require, which may include:
Training on core skills such as accurate and timely situational awareness, effective decision making and effective leadership communication in a crisis context.
Workshops bringing together your senior team to help define or rehearse the specific leadership responsibilities that they will each hold in a crisis.
One to one leadership mentoring and coaching support for senior members of your crisis response team.
On call support to senior leaders responding to a crisis in real time.
Benefits of our crisis leadership skills services include
Empowerment of the senior team – Our support can help to prepare your team to provide visible and cohesive leadership to champion the importance of emergency planning across your organisation.
Improved people leadership capability – Specialist support to advise your senior team on the crucial people leadership skills they need in a crisis context will prepare them to lead the organisation effectively when disruption happens.
Enhanced technical crisis leadership confidence – In a crisis, senior team members are often called upon to carry out technical processes that are outside their core subject matter expertise. We can help to build confidence and capability in their emergency response roles.
