Synopsis

Crisis leaders never feel completely prepared. From your first response to your hundredth, you feel the same nerves, the same anticipation, and the same desire to serve with each crisis you encounter.

But when disaster strikes, you’re there to make a difference—and you’ll need to rely on more than just your good intentions.
