The fact that there's no playbook for a crisis is both scary and encouraging.
'Staying in the room' is non-negotiable, and your examples tell a compelling story as to why.
Every crisis is unique, and we all manage them based on our own wiring. For me, the key is extracting lessons from those who handled chaos brilliantly, then tailoring them to my situation.
Now that I think about it, maybe that synthesis is the playbook. 'Best practices' might be a better term, but this approach is a guide for future crises.
Thank you so much for the kind words. You’re right — there’s no standard approach, and being authentic to yourself and your wiring is essential. For some people that may come across as more “rah rah,” while for others it’s analytical or a quieter confidence. The key is that people can feel when it’s genuine.
Thanks for the restack, @The Black Line!
