Most people already know how to do their job during normal times. But in times of crisis, doing your job like "normal" won't cut it. In some cases, it can even be a recipe for disaster. This course is about how to lead during a real crisis. It's another course in bestselling author Paul Smith's Fireside Chat series where you get to learn from the hard-won wisdom of experienced professionals drawn from interviews Paul conducted with hundreds of CEOs and executives at dozens of companies around the world – in this case, interviews about how they handled crisis situation. And it will focus on ones that illustrate a brilliant piece of unconventional leadership thinking – the kind you're not likely to read about in a management textbook.
