On this special episode of Creating Disney Magic, Dan Cockerell, my son and former VP of the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World joins me to talk about how to handle a crisis.
Here are four steps to keep in mind while dealing with a crisis:
Safety First. Before anything else, the safety of employees, customers, and yourself comes before anything else.
Deal with the Facts. During a crisis people get emotional. People speculate and gossip. You should deal only with the facts when you communicate with people.
Be Empathetic. Everybody is dealing with a crisis in different ways for different reasons. Understand people are worried.
Use the situation to get better. You and your organization can learn plenty from a crisis. Use it as a training opportunity.
During my time as EVP of Walt Disney World, we had to shut down the parks due to hurricanes and 9/11.
During a crisis, your culture is on show for everyone to see. Your actions should match your words. What you say doesn't build a culture. Culture is built through actions.
