According to Jim Lukaszewski, "The most volatile component of all crisis response is victim management. Failure to promptly, humanely, and empathetically see that victims' needs are also met will eclipse an organization's response. Even a flawless response will be remembered for its angry survivors, relatives, public officials, sometimes competitors, but almost always the critics.

Setting Crisis Response, Communication Strategies, And Priorities

Crisis Management, Crisis Management and Crisis CommunicationApril 29, 2019419Views 0Likes 0Comments

According to Jim Lukaszewski, in a crisis, effective decisions and actions must precede communication. The reality is that once the instant of crisis has occurred, the process of recovery has begun. Recovery can be quite complicated and lengthy. The operational response goal is to put the focus truly on the first 1-3 hours of a crisis. This will then assure that tone, tempo, scope, and intent are established powerfully and constructively. Emergency communication response priorities must also address appropriate operational action. In addition to this, it must match the expectations of all potential audiences who could be affected or afflicted by your actions or by the crisis situation.

The Pathology of Leadership Error in Crisis

Self-Inflicted Leadership Crisis Response Failure Behaviors

1. Surprise: Stems from the U.S. management culture developed over the last 40 years which stresses the invincibility of managers and leaders based on extensive monitoring and data collection to the exclusion of many traditional (historic?) management beliefs, actions, concerns and functions. Today’s prevailing attitude is that smart managers are unlikely to suffer a crisis.

The unintended consequence of this delusion is that much necessary readiness activity never takes place.

Part of the surprise crisis always brings is related to the almost immediate realization by these smart leaders that readiness has suffered in an environment of management omnipotence and over optimism about inherent response capabilities.

The lesson: The smarter they are the harder and faster they fall.

The outcome is: The refusal to believe that things are serious, i.e. not wanting to look too concerned in the eyes and gossip of peers.

With the heavy scrutiny that crises bring, even the terms you use can have an impact. When the time comes to phase down the crisis response, avoid using the terms disengagement or deactivation. De-escalation implies that the team is phasing down to “watchful waiting.” This means that the team will remain vigilant for any developments…
