Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Definitive Guide to Communicating in Any Crisis “When facing an already difficult crisis, the last thing a company needs is to make it worse through its own communications – or lack thereof. As one who has lived through a number of [business] crises and served as an independent investigator of the crises of others, I consider Steven Fink’s book to be an excellent guide to avoiding collecting scar tissue of your own by learning from the scar tissue painfully collected by others.”—Norman R. Augustine, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Lockheed Martin There are few guarantees in business today. Unfortunately, one of them is the inevitability of a crisis having a potentially major effect on your business and your reputation. When your company finds itself in the midst of a crisis, the ripple effects can disrupt lives and business for the foreseeable future if public opinion is not properly shaped and managed. Skillfully managing the perception of the crisis determines the difference between a company’s life or death. Because in the pitched battle between perception and reality, perception always wins. Fortunately, there is a solution. Crisis communications and crisis management legend Steven Fink gives you everything you need to prepare for the inevitable—whether it’s in the form of human error, industrial accidents, criminal behavior, or natural disasters. In this groundbreaking guide, Fink provides a complete toolkit for ensuring smooth communications and lasting business success through any crisis. Crisis Communications offers proactive and preventive methods for preempting potential crises. The book reveals proven strategies for recognizing and averting damaging crisis communications issues before it’s too late. The book also offers ways to deal with mainstream and social media, use them to your advantage, and neutralize and turn around a hostile media environment Steven Fink uses his decades of expertise and experience in crisis communications to help you: UNDERSTAND AND MANAGE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PUBLIC PERCEPTION AND REALITY CHOOSE THE BEST SPOKESPERSON FOR THE CRISIS PROTECT YOUR BRAND AND REPUTATION THROUGH CRISES LARGE AND SMALL MAKE WISE, VIGILANT, AND DEFENSIBLE DECISIONS UNDER EXTREME CRISIS-INDUCED STRESS TELL THE TRUTH NO MATTER HOW TEMPTING IT MAY BE TO MISLEAD USE SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS TO COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT A CRISIS The explosion of the Internet and, especially, social media, has added a new layer to the business leader’s skill set: the ability to handle a crisis quickly and professionally within moments of its occurrence. Livelihoods depend upon it. With in-depth case studies of Toyota, BP, and Penn State, Crisis Communications provides everything you need to successfully lead your company through today’s rocky landscape of business—where crises large and small loom around every corner, and the lives of businesses and management teams hang in the balance.

Download or read book Organizational Crisis Communication written by Finn Frandsen and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a crisis breaks out, it’s not always just the organization that reacts - the news media, customers, employees, trade associations, politicians, activist groups, and PR experts may also respond. This book offers a new and original perspective on crisis communication based on the theory of the Rhetorical Arena and the so-called multivocal approach. According to this approach, we gain a more dynamic and complex understanding of organizational crises if we focus not only on the communication produced by the organization but also take into account the many other voices who start communicating when a crisis breaks out. It provides: An in-depth overview of the five key dimensions of organizational crises, crisis management and crisis communication A comprehensive introduction to the theory of the Rhetorical Arena and the multivocal approach to crisis communication, including some of the most important voices inside the arena A series of important international case studies and case examples in each chapter.

Download or read book Crisis Communications written by Kathleen Fearn-Banks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1996 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No company, organization, or individual whose livelihood depends on public reaction can afford to function without a crisis management/communications plan. Yet, many large fully-staffed corporations still have no such plans. Management and public relations in these companies are likely to say they acknowledge the need for such a plan; however, they either lack the manpower or the expertise to develop a crisis plan. So, they think positively and hope that the inevitable will never occur until the economy improves and they can hire someone with crisis planning expertise. Various public relations and crisis communication theories suggest attributes and characteristics of programs that are likely either to prevent crises or enable organizations to recover from crises more swiftly than organizations without those characteristics. In fact, negative thinking is the appropriate stance in crisis management. This book shows that if an organization's leaders think and plan for the worst case scenario, they will come out of a crisis in better condition than they would otherwise. It shows individuals how to prepare themselves and their organizations to cope with crises that may occur, and offers strategies and tactics to be used during a crisis. It provides this information via examinations of the experiences of public relations professionals in crises -- what they did, what they wished they had done, and what hampered their progress. This volume of case studies demonstrates problems that can turn into crises, and crises, if not handled effectively, that can become catastrophes. The chapters include: * descriptions of the skills needed to communicate effectively in a crisis; * a how-to manual on developing and implementing a crisis communication plan; * some causes of crises -- rumor, sensationalized and irresponsible news coverage, and the non-expert expert; * tips on how to work with -- rather than in conflict with -- the media and lawyers; and * narrated case studies of how public relations professionals used communication in several kinds of crises.
