Notes on Resilience 83: Crisis Leadership—Unpacking Resilience and Crisis Preparedness, with Eric McNulty
What truly constitutes a crisis, and how should effective leaders respond?
A crisis is an event that threatens life, reputation, operations, or financial stability and can strike at any time. Understanding how to lead and maintain resilience is critical for survival and recovery.
Join us as we sit down with Eric McNulty, the Associate Director of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard, to unpack the essentials of crisis leadership and societal resilience. You'll learn about the three core facets of resilience: the psychological strength of individuals, the robustness of our built environment, and our collective ability to adapt and evolve. Eric offers insights into why psychological preparedness and strong social networks are vital for community cohesion, the critical traits of effective crisis leadership, and the importance of strategic delegation to manage both the crisis and everyday operations. We also underscore the necessity of formal crisis planning and ensuring team members receive adequate rest and support, especially during prolonged emergencies.
Don't miss this engaging and informative episode that promises to equip you with the tools needed for effective crisis leadership.
