Guest, Bob VandePol talks about what business leaders (or family/community leaders) can do in the immediate aftermath of violence to foster resilience.

When violence strikes the workplace all employees immediately look to its leadership for direction. How those leaders respond when all eyes are upon them offers both tremendous opportunity and serious risk for the subsequent outcomes. Reactions to their leadership will echo throughout the organization as others take their cue from the charted direction. Employees will go through the crisis with or without leadership and need to be led well. How do you address the human impacts and the financial costs? How do you communicate in a way that demonstrates both competence and compassion? What should you do to mitigate tragedy’s occurrence and keep a bad situation from getting worse? This discussion will address crisis leadership skills that support individual and organizational resilience.
