At Missouri University of Science & Technology, a key part of my role is to empower students through teaching a concept called bystander intervention. During trainings we explore the "Four Ds" of intervention: Direct, Distract, Delegate, and Delay. The Four Ds reflect a range of strategies to constructively respond in the face of emergencies and problematic behavior. These approaches can also be used in non-crisis moments for stepping into leadership opportunities that "real-life" throws in one's path. This is a great example of bystander intervention in a crisis situation. He starts with Delegating to authorities... Then dynamically shifts to a Direct intervention to prevent irreversible harm from occurring. Nice work, Bob Van Dillen! Below, I will link to the footage of him interrupting his live report and an interview where he debriefed on the incident.
