Forbes asked, we answered. Forbes Communications Council asked its thought leadership Expert Panel network about addressing the media during a crisis. According to Rachel Gerber Kule: "Take Time To Ensure Accuracy" "Managing high-stakes crisis management communications requires patience just as much as it requires action. Be responsive, not reactive. While timely action is essential, don't forget to pause. Make sure you have the facts right. A proactive crisis communications protocol can help ensure accuracy and timeliness." #crisismanagement #crisiscommunication #Csuitecomms https://lnkd.in/efCJy8Y9

Great to contribute to the Forbes Communications Council article regarding best practices for crisis management. My takeaway: even when acting quickly, take time to respond versus react. You cannot message yourself out of a problem or into a solution. Figure out the facts. With this mindset, you can be authentic and thoughtful while being agile and proactive. As shared on Forbes: "Take Time To Ensure Accuracy" "Managing high-stakes crisis management communications requires patience just as much as it requires action. Be responsive, not reactive. While timely action is essential, don't forget to pause. Make sure you have the facts right. A proactive crisis communications protocol can help ensure accuracy and timeliness."
