In these turbulent times of rapid crisis and change, masterful leadership is vital. Key faculty members of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard University present a framework and practice method called Meta Leadership in which the leader seeks a bigger picture of the intricate complexity of the problems, opportunities, and solutions of a crisis in order to take decisive action. This holistic leadership view consists of three connected elements – the person or leader, the situation, and those the leader leads or the team. The meta leader learns how to use these interconnected elements successfully in a crisis situation.
With thought provoking “Questions for Journaling” at the end of chapters and numerous examples – mass shooting, data breach, pandemic, hurricane, bombing – to illustrate the effect of the practice, You're It is a relevant and timely crisis management book that will give you the tools to effectively lead in a crisis situation.
