Crisis Leadership Skills -Smart Thinking for Times of Crisis

Description

Do you want to be the leader that you know you can be? Do you want to lead yourself well in times of crisis? Do you want to lead and develop your team even during challenging times? Do you want to crisis prepare and crisis-proof your project or organisation to thrive through a crisis? Do you want to lead so to combat fear in uncertain times? Do you want to create a culture and an organisation that flourishes even under pressure?

I founded and led a team of Crisis Negotiators in one of the most challenging environments in the world, a cliff top at one of the worlds most notorious suicide spots. This course will equip you with the lessons I learnt working in that high pressure crisis environment whilst developing an organisation which had a world class reputation in its field, so that you can be better prepared for the challenge of leading through a crisis in your organisation, and be better crisis proof and prepared for whatever the future brings.

Smart Thinking For Times of Crisis—Influential Leadership has been called a MUST DO  for any serious leadership team interested in crisis management.

Good crisis management requires effective self, team, and organisational leadership:

Self-leadership In Times of Crisis

Do you know that negative emotions can disrupt your ability to think smartly?

Smart thinking is essential for leaders, and for the teams they lead. In the self-leadership section, I will teach you to re-engage your smart thinking when under pressure. Essential for good leadership.

Team Leadership in Times of Crisis

This course also equips you to re-engage smart thinking in your team.

Imagine this, every time your team are under pressure, it impairs their smart thinking. Whether you are leading a small team, or an entire organisation, this course is for you. If you are leading two or more people, these skills will improve your leadership influence. Utilising Crisis Negotiation Techniques I will equip you with tools to re-engage smart thinking in your team, demonstrate empathy to support them effectively in challenging times, and help them to operate at their best when you need them to.

Organisational Leadership to Crisis Proof and Crisis Prepare

Following on from learning to reengage smart thinking in yourself and your team, this course will then equip you to use those tools to create a stronger and more resilient team, project, or organisation.

I will share with you a Crisis proofing model that I have used to help organisations navigate crises successfully. Using the tools for self and team leadership, your whole team will be better equipped to utilise the crisis proofing and crisis preparing model to successfully navigate the path ahead.

My name is Ross Hardy and I have spent over 20 years in leadership roles. I founded and led an internationally known and respected cliff-edge crisis negotiation team, which has rescued 1000s of people to date.

This course contains many of the skills I learnt and applied to lead myself, a team, and an organisation in such a high-pressure environment, to become the most successful team of its type in the UK.

I now apply my passion as a leadership consultant and coach, to help leaders better influence their world.
