Why Choose this Training Course?

All leaders are sooner or later confronted with the need to lead and manage their team or organisation during a crisis or emergency. The skills and competencies that are required to lead in these circumstances are much more demanding of the leader than normal everyday leadership.

  • Exercising leadership and personnel management under emergency and crisis situations
  • Assessing, prioritizing, and managing risks and threats before, during, and after a crisis or emergency
