I'm joined by long-time Emergency Management professional and the author of 'Promoting the Dog Sitter, and Other Principles from Leading During Disasters, Edward L Conley. During my talk with Ed we touch on: 1. Crisis Leadership, 2. Social Media impacts (and the bad actors involved), 3. Emergency Management defined, 4. Lessons from history, 5. Being able to ensure you can 'respond' well before anything else (and why), 6. Five core values and principles, 7. Showing up vs Showing off, 8. Blame, Hide, or Own (and recognizing the difference in leaders), 9. How the title 'Promoting the Dog Sitter' came about, and how this story evolved (It's a heart warming and inspirational story you've got to hear)...and much more. It's a very interesting chat with Ed, as it's all based on his own hand-on experiences on Emergency Management, rather than about theoretical aspects of Emergency Management. Lots of insights you don't want to miss. Enjoy!
