Control the Chaos

Chaos Reigns in Crisis - Not With Your Team Though

Caring Team Leaders and Health & Safety Champions always have people safety, security and well being at their front of mind.

They know that investing in people capability to deal with those critical situations is a worthy investment. It helps to create leaders worth following when the unexpected happens.

Expect the Unexpected

Building the right levels of readiness and resilience is a balancing act in the fast pace of today’s business. Spending time and energy on staff and leadership awareness of what to do when “stuff goes bad” can be seen as unnecessary and costly. Getting the right level of awareness training to enable good leadership in action is the key.

Every organisation has to do some level of critical incident readiness and that readiness requires a level of planning. However, good leaders know that everything doesn’t go according to plan. True in business equally true in crisis. They know that it is critically important to be mission focussed and control what you can control.

Control the chaos when it comes to managing your way through critical incidents and expect the unexpected.

It won’t go according to the plan

The abbreviated phrase of “no plan survives first contact with the enemy” is attributed to Helmuth Von Moltke - A famous 19th century Prussian military commander. It is true in terms of military operations and it is equally true when dealing with any critical incident that todays modern businesses may have to deal with.

Of course have a plan. Plans are important, but in terms of leading your people through critical incidents you will need to understand contingency actions. Situations or factors that are going to take your plan in a different direction. Expect this to be true because it will be.

The ability to deal with changing circumstances whilst maintaining an overall objective is what will enhance your leaders and teams ability to deal with critical incidents.

Create the scenario, put your self in the moment, change up the factors, build in contingencies. With this type of approach you are now building real readiness capability. Build and change the scenario.
