When something changes on the job and the person in charge isn't around, most people freeze and wait for instructions that never come. 

In this episode, Brad explains how the same snap decisions firefighters make when a fire jumps the line translate into the five decisions that separate leaders from followers when a business crisis hits without warning. 

You'll learn how to read a changing situation fast, make the call without waiting for permission and step up the moment your team needs a decision.
