Expert Crisis Leadership Strategies

  • Summary

  • In this episode of The Lazy CEO Podcast, host Jim Schleckser introduces Eric McNulty, an expert on leadership in crisis situations. McNulty, who is the Associate Director of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard University, discusses the importance of understanding energy systems in the workplace and how decisions impact both employees and the broader environment. He emphasizes the power of empowering every level of an organization to create meaningful work experiences.

    McNulty shares his personal connection to crisis leadership, which began unexpectedly due to a near-miss experience during the 9/11 attacks and continued with a career shift during the economic downturn of 2008. His work focuses on preparing leaders for high-stakes environments where quick, effective decision-making is crucial. He contrasts average operational leadership with crisis leadership, describing the latter as requiring a higher level of performance, akin to competing in the Olympics. According to McNulty, successful crisis leaders maintain calm, gain perspective quickly, and guide their teams effectively through emergencies.
