Crisis Leadership: Outer Impact Through Inner Mastery- Developing impactful strategies and helping others do better, from a foundation of self-leadership.

This two-hour webinar will present a practical, interactive guide to effective leadership during crises. It will consist of three domains:

A- Personal Leadership: The Role of Values
Leadership is a social act, but effective leadership begins with leading ones’ self. We will offer guidance and a practical tool for personal leadership in crises through the lens of values. We will begin with a discussion of how leaders rely on their values during crises, including examples. We will then conduct a hands-on exercise helping the participants identify their most salient values, so they can rely on them during crises for motivation, decision making, stress management and trust building.

B- Interpersonal Leadership: Inspiration and Inclusion
Responding to crises takes a team. Effective leaders bring out the best in the people they lead during a crisis. We will again begin with examples and go on to identify best practices for inspiring a team to operate effectively during crises and making the most of their efforts and perspectives to solve novel problems. A key concept will be what the leader can do to produce psychological safety during the crisis.

C- Strategic Leadership: Prioritization and Planning
We’ll discuss the role of strategy during a crisis and how to lead strategically with a clear, concise communication of priorities to the organization. We will also introduce and engage the concept of scenario planning as a way to prepare strategically in the face of uncertainty. Participants will put this tool to work to think of uncertainty in their own domain.
