We often hear comments like, “You don’t want to be exchanging business cards at a disaster” but then no one addresses what that really means and what techniques you can use before and during the incident to insure success.  This unique presentation presents examples of both successful and less-than-successful leader experiences in crisis situations. Five critical leadership skills will be highlighted that, if applied, will provide the greatest opportunity for success for emergency managers & homeland security professionals.  These skills are applicable across all disciplines in both the public and private sectors and vertically through the various levels from C-level executives to program managers and first responders.  Participants will take away information that can be used that same day.
