Don’t let legal concerns dominate your crisis management planning
In today’s litigation-happy world, chances are you will need at least one lawyer on your crisis management team. The problem is that in a crisis, this legal influence frequently clashes with one of the main priorities of crisis managers; communication. In an excerpt from his book, “The Communicators: Leadership in the Age of Crisis,” printed in the latest Crisis Manager newsletter, Levick Communications CEO Richard Levick explains the delicate balance between the need to protect your organization from legal harm while at the same time fulfilling your obligation to maintain honesty and transparency throughout communications with stakeholders and the media.
