The Prepared Leader Emerge from Any Crisis More Resilient Than Before

It's really great to have you on the show I want to start with, given the challenges many countries are facing with leadership today why did you write this book?

Well, unfortunately, you're right there are a number of leadership challenges and voids that we're seeing but I wrote this book with my co-author, Lynn Wooten primarily because we think that there's a real opportunity for leadership now and there's so many different circumstances that are requiring leadership and talking about some of the crises that you just had in your last segment whether you're talking about organizational responses to threats The need for leadership is really paramount and I work in a business school and we're targeting the goal of preparing the next generation of future leaders

And I'm curious if you address in this and have considered the concept of leadership in the age of disinformation I think that has made good, honest leadership difficult in a sea of many different messages that ripple across a population and often stick

So you're bringing up a good point and what we argue is that communication is key whether you're in a time of crisis or not and the information that you have regarding communication is paramount And so one of the things that a leader has to discern is the credibility of the information that they have where the sources of information are coming from can it be validated by other sources getting a 360 degree of the kind of information that you're seeking to present out to the world or that you are taking in is really a critical role of leadership
