Crisis Leadership: 3 Decisions You Must Make in the First 5 Minutes
Leadership in the Line of Fire
Confusion spreads faster than flames — and the decisions you make in the first five minutes of a crisis determine whether you stabilize the situation or make it worse. Brad Hauck breaks down the exact three-decision framework he uses on the fireground and in business: read the scene, stop the spread, then create clarity before people start writing their own story. Most leaders skip step one and pay for it all the way through.
