The lessons we offer in Crisis Leadership aren’t only relevant to senior executives or board members of large companies. Even owners of small businesses or non-profits will likely find themselves in the position of leading their organizations and employees through a crisis at some time in their careers. And many of the same lessons apply to public and private companies, non-profits and government agencies.

Crisis Leadership is a primer that will help you avoid the mistakes that others have made. And, it offers concrete advice that will help you become a more effective leader during any crisis your company may find itself in.  So many people in the consulting field give advice on leading during a crisis--but where did they learn to practice what they preach?  At Maverick, our crisis leadership group is directed by Dr. Martin D. Cohen, a licensed clinical psychologist who is the Clinical Director of the Tampa Bay Region Critical Incident Team and on the task force that developed the State of Florida Disaster Behavioral Health Response protocol.  Dr. Cohen has worked with Emergency Operations personnel, first responders in law enforcement, fire and fire/rescue for over 20 years.  His experience includes the planning, preparation and response to terrorism attacks, as well as natural disasters at one of our country’s largest ports—the Port of Tampa.  After watching the video, learn more about Maverick’s crisis leadership practice by clicking here.
