When you're in a crisis, there's really no playbook.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Crises are part of life. Everybody has to face them, and it doesn't make any difference what the crisis is.
I find if you are in an office, the crisis finds you. If you're not in the office, the crisis finds somebody else.
I think to adequately manage a crisis, you have to see it. Because there's only so much somebody else can tell you about it, and they impose their own distortions on the description. You need to see it yourself.
What you say and do in a crisis matters.
A long-term crisis, after a certain point, no longer seems like a crisis. It seems like the way things are.
I have an existential crisis every time I walk into a bookshop, knowing that I'm not going to read all the books before I die.
Over the years, I've been involved in many business crises. I qualify this, since my crises have never involved life and death or the survival of the human race. But they are still crises.
I really do think that any deep crisis is an opportunity to make your life extraordinary in some way.
Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up.
In all of the movies and films you see, people are always in crisis because that's what we watch. We watch them deal with crisis and resolve it.
