As an emergency manager, you will need to make decisions during a crisis. Before people trust you, there is a process that you will need to go through. Part of that process is building bridges between the policy makers and those that have to implement them. Consensus building is one of the significant roles of the Emergency Manager and the EOC in a crisis. We coordinate and make sure everyone is using the same playbook.LinksLinkedIn: https: https://www.linkedin.com/company/em-weekly/Twitter:‏ https://twitter.com/EM_WeeklyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/emweekly/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/em_weekly/ AdvertisersTitan HST https://www.titanhst.com/The Blue Cell http://www.thebluecell.com/The Emergency Management Leaders Conference  http://emlc.us/

Today, we're discussing leadership styles. I believe once you know your style, it is much easier to learn how to lead with it. But before you can take the reins, you need to know what your leadership style really is, and how you can take that leadership style and use it, and implement it, into your daily work, with your team. When you think about leadership, you always think of the classics, when it comes to things that we read, or I read in college, in my master's program for public administration. And I'm only going to talk about two of them.One of them you don't think about as somebody who's leadership, as Peter Drucker, he's more of that management style. But at the end, he kind of came around to the idea of what leadership really is, and he has his idea styles. And the other one is Lewin, Kurt Lewin, and this happened in 1939. So, a lot of these studies on leadership happened during this really terrible time in the world's history, right? The Great Depression was going on, World War II was just starting
