This GLOMACS Crisis Leadership and Human Behaviour training course encourages leaders to take an emergency response plan and adapt it as new evidence and factors present themselves. When leading through a crisis leaders are forced to think and behave in ways that feel unfamiliar. Leaders should be able to remain calm and maintain a sense of perspective and their goal is to reduce loss and keep things operating as normal as possible.

Leaders must develop a robust application of the skills and practices incorporated in the five key disciplines: (1) Strategic Leadership and Innovation; (2) Team Building & Management; (3) Communication Skills; (4) Time Management, Prioritization & Results Orientation: (5) Problem Solving & Decision Making. For each discipline, you will learn everything from key theories to best practice from some of the world's most influential companies to develop empowering perceptions that will help you achieve success.

This training course will highlight:

• How the ‘human factor’ impacts on a crisis
• Being mentally resilient to the pressures arising from crises
• Maintaining communication with stakeholders
• Develop, apply and lead crisis management strategy
