This podcast series is about how leadership style can be crucial in determining the outcome of a crisis for an organisation, and the various strategies that can be drawn upon to lead through a crisis, with a focus on reframing crisis as an opportunity. Daniel talks to leaders from a variety of industries about how organisations can develop strategies to detect potential crises, manage those crises creatively, and leverage what is learned through crises positively.
