Mike Tankersley on Crisis Planning and Crisis Response (11/8/06)
In this podcast, Mike provides some insight into crisis management, including:
- You (along with CEO turnaround expert Suzanne Hopgood) recently authored a 120-page handbook, “Board Leadership for the Company in Crisis” that was published by the National Association of Corporate Directors. What led you to take on this subject, and what has the response been?
- It would seem like crisis planning would be something every company would do. Is that the case?
- What role do preparation and practice play?
- Why don’t companies engage in systematic, thorough crisis planning, preparation and practice?
- What are some examples of a failure to plan, prepare and practice crisis response and the problems that created for the affected company?
- What are some examples of crisis response planning paying off for companies?
- What is your best argument to a board or management team that they should invest time and money in advance planning?
- What role can counsel play in encouraging companies to take up crisis response planning, and in putting together effective plans?
