Do you have the necessary leadership skills to deal with an emergency?

When dealing with an emergency, making the right and informed decision with limited information is crucial. Understanding roles and responsibilities within the team as well as those of all external parties involved will ensure the situation is being well managed and will minimise risks to the employees, the public and the company’s reputation when responding to an emergency situation.

What are the consequences of poor management of an emergency?

Apart from the physical impacts of a major incident, the reputational damage to an organisation can be immense. When a company’s reputation is lost, it may take years to recover.

Poor leadership will inevitably lead to a poor response. Leadership in an emergency is different from normal management and requires a different skill set. This can be acquired through experience and training.
