Crisis Leadership: Planning for the UnthinkableFrom product defects to environmental disasters?almost every day a new corporate crisis hits the headlines.

The inadequate, and often damaging, response of American business to such adversity proves that we don?t need better crisis management?we need crisis leadership. Ian Mitroff offers a new proactive approach that focuses on doing everything humanly possible to prevent crisis before they happen, rather than merely putting the best possible spin on the aftermath. In easy-to-read, accessible language, Mitroff presents the critical, key lessons that will help managers lead the organization through a major crisis. |
