Keynote: Crisis Leadership at the Cutting Edge
SessionOpening Plenary Session
DescriptionKeynote Speaker: Dr. Leonard Marcus, Co-Director, National Preparedness Leadership Initiative
CRISIS LEADERSHIP AT THE CUTTING EDGE: PREPARED, READY, AND RESPONSIVE WHEN IT MATTERS MOST
Preparedness oftentimes manifests as a logistical process, ensuring that the equipment, supplies, and resources are ready to go in an emergency. What does it mean to be prepared to lead? What does it mean to be ready to lead? And when a crisis occurs, what does it take for a leader to apply emotional intelligence and an open mindset to meet the challenges?
This session provides an applied introduction to Meta-Leadership, an original model of crisis leadership developed by Dr. Leonard Marcus and his colleagues at Harvard University. Constructed from direct field experience of crises studied over twenty years, the Meta-Leadership model is a robust and vibrant reference point for crisis leaders as they prepare, ready, and respond to crises.
One key responsibility of the crisis leader is bringing together the people, resources, and assets required to meet the crisis head-on. Dr. Marcus will describe the research that led him and his National Preparedness Leadership Initiative colleagues to develop the framework and practices of Swarm Leadership.
