If your plane crashed on a frozen mountain tomorrow, would you end up as a leader... or as lunch? 🥩 It’s a brutal question, but history tells us the answer has nothing to do with how strong you are or how much gear you have. It all comes down to the person standing at the front of the pack. In this episode, we are decoding the psychology of survival. We analyze two of the most famous disasters in history to find out why some groups make it home and others descend into chaos (and cannibalism). We pit the legendary leadership of Ernest Shackleton—who brought every single man home from the Antarctic ice—against the tragic nightmare of the Donner Party, where a lack of command led to total collapse. We break down the 10-80-10 Principle: In any crisis, 10% will lead, 80% will freeze in a "cognitive fog," and 10% will panic. We reveal the specific, learnable behaviors that can move you into that top 10%. From managing morale and giving people "task-based purpose" to the power of democratic engagement, we show you how to hack human nature when the stakes are life or death. Whether you are facing a literal blizzard or just a "personal Andes" in your business or personal life, this is your guide to crisis leadership. Stop waiting for a hero to save you. Learn how to become one. 🧊 Ready to survive? Smash that Follow/Subscribe button to unlock the mindset of the world’s toughest leaders. Share this episode with your team—before the next crisis hits!

Multiple parents and the Parent Action Coalition told the Jacksonville North Pulaski School District board it waited roughly 59–60 days to notify families about a staff arrest; speakers demanded a formal parental-notification policy, transparency, and the board's resignation while the board announced plans for a crisis-management training manual and a forthcoming work session.

Wanneer quick scan teams vanuit de Noordzee, de crisis bij parastatale organisaties en bij overheden in Suriname beginnen door te nemen, helpt het wel om een paar zaken in het achterhoofd te houden. Eentje daarvan is de codetaal van de berm. De woorden ‘opeenvolgende regeringen’ bijvoorbeeld, zijn codetaal voor: niet alleen de vorige regeringen, maar dus ook de NDP-regeringen hiervoor.

For many years, communicators (including me) have told companies to focus on communicating only high-quality information during a crisis.

Het Nederlandse overheidsbeleid op het gebied van veiligheid, terreurdreiging en crisismanagement wordt steeds meer gevormd door een samenwerkingsverband van inlichtingendiensten, academische instellingen en denktanks, informeel aangeduid als het Veiligheidsepistemisch Complex. Dit netwerk functioneert als een epistemische gemeenschap: een groep experts met gedeelde overtuigingen die het begrip van complexe vraagstukken en de bijbehorende oplossingen verspreidt en overheden bijstaat. Binnen dit complex wordt de interpretatie van risico's bepaald en de visie op veiligheidsproblemen gestuurd. Onderzoeken en rapporten die als wetenschappelijk worden gepresenteerd, blijken vaak voort te komen u...
