From the firing of Obama\u2019s communications director to the coming out of Bruce Jenner we\u2019ve seen them time and time again play out in the open and a great deal can be learned from how they are handled.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aspire-canada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Juda-Headshot.png\"><br \/>\n<\/a>To learn more about the important tactics to bear in mind when in a crisis we turned to Juda Engelmayer, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.5wpr.com\">Senior Vice President at 5W Public Relations<\/a> who oversees the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.5wpr.com\/practice\/corporatecommunications.cfm\">Corporate Communications<\/a>, Public Affairs, and Crisis Communications groups. Here Engelmayer highlights five things to always bear in mind when in crisis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Rush\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Slow down, don\u2019t jump and make a gut reaction<\/strong>.\u00a0 Listen and learn to fully understand what has occurred before taking action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be Honest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When dealing with the issue be honest, never make something up<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you cannot discuss it with staff, just say that you are unable to do so right now and perhaps you will be able to explain later.\u00a0 Better to say less then say something erroneous or silly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0H<\/strong><strong>ave An Action Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Be prepared for problems, and never get caught by surprise<\/strong>.\u00a0 Have a plan.\u00a0 Of course issues will arise that you may not expect, but if you have a crisis preparedness plan, you can follow the guidebook and ease your way through it.\u00a0 As an example, Bruce Jenner\u2019s recent interview with 20\/20 was an example of handling a potential crisis well.\u00a0 He took what was becoming a media frenzy, controlled it, and made sure he had all of his facts and backup resources ready to chime in.\u00a0 No matter what one thinks of the situation, you have to respect how he and his family handled that coming out experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drive The Situation <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Be in control<\/strong>. Show your staff and employees and the public that you are aware, facing it head on, and have a plan to deal and manage through it. Convey knowledge, composure, and a full appreciation for situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Be Able To Pivot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Always learn<\/strong>.\u00a0 Once you get through any crisis, do a postmortem and decide what worked and what did not.\u00a0 Change your plan accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Tips To Bear In Mind When Dealing With A Work Crisis &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; There are few things as debilitating as a personal or work crisis \u2013 especially if it\u2019s public.
