A crisis is one of the most opportune times a leader demonstrates their worth. If the crisis is self-inflicted, it is imperative the leader ‘own’ his/her or their teams’ mistakes.

- Discover and define the REAL problem

- Provide reassurance
- Simplify the situation
- Enlist the support of influencers
- Decide to take action one step at a time
- Do what is right and not what is easiest
