The Directors Role in Leading in a Crisis

Leading in a crisis is an uncomfortable place for directors. We are dealing with uncertainty. Until recently, if asked, most business leaders would have said that they have not had to deal with a crisis and hoped that they never would. However, for many businesses crisis has become the norm, with Covid-19 having drastic implications on how organisations operate. A crisis is usually a turning point for an organisation, and directors must make critical decisions to ensure that their business can survive and return to some form of business as usual.

This CPD workshop seeks to draw out the characteristics of crisis leadership and provides a practical model which should help directors and the board navigate its way through a crisis whilst still discharging their legal obligations and responsibilities.

Having completed this session, delegates should be able to:

• Define leadership, its characteristics and how that applies to the board
• Define a crisis and the role of the board in it
• Apply principles to leading in a crisis
