Being flexible allows for adapting to changing conditions, and supporting the­ team maintains morale. After the­ challenge, refle­cting on what was learned ensure­s progress. By following these ste­ps, teams can navigate difficult times e­fficiently, reduce ne­gative effects, and e­merge stronger as a group.

Nothing builds a team faster and stronger than attacking a problem together! So communicate as transparently as possible about the challenges coming and make a plan of action together! Have a team member project manage this to give them some leadership experience and mentor everyone on how to face adversity! Remember to also listen to your team especially if they show signs of stress, uncertainty, discouragement etc. They may feel overwhelmed by the challenges or may feel like they’re not doing enough for the team… or who knows? You just need to ask in a safe environment and let your team member say whats on their mind

Without loosing sight of the immediate required action (manage anxiety, address immediate actions, steer staff, etc.), leaders that keep composure can look beyond, imagine the desired future, and conduct any structural change that would normally face more resistance under stable conditions. If done smoothly and deploying good communication, the staff / team can rally behind. This creates a good setting for post-crisis build up.

🔷NEVER WASTE A GOOD CRISIS. A period of crisis is full of learning. However, as it was tough and finally over, the tendency is to close and move forward. This would be a pitty. There is a lot you can learn by spending some time for yourself and with the team.

These plans may include predefined procedures for communication, escalation, and decision-making during emergencies. If contingency plans do not exist, work with your team to develop and implement them as needed.

Prior to all the below, keep in mind that in a crisis, nothing beats being there in person. Face-to-face interaction allows for immediate assessment, building trust, and addressing concerns directly. It helps identify key players and demonstrates leadership by example. While remote tools are useful, physical presence fosters deeper connections and enables a more nuanced understanding of the situation. Balancing digital efficiency with personal engagement optimizes crisis management efforts.
