Managing Up, How to Engage Your Executives Before a Crisis


Listen Later

One of the most common complaints that I have heard over the years from emergency and business continuity managers is they cannot get their executives to participate in emergency drills and exercises. We hear lip service all the time from City Managers, CEOs, and Presidents of Higher Education Institutions on how Emergency Management and safety are important to them...Until they do not lead from the top and show up for the training. It is hard for EM and BC managers to get the buy-in from the midlevel managers if the top does not participate.  To make matters worse, when a crisis does happen, and the C-Suite shows up, they want to be in charge. In addition, they make bad decisions, they do not understand the emergency plan and they become ineffective.  Then, they blame the emergency managers, and the system did not work.
