Don’t Panic - Surviving COVID19, Principles and Pillars of Recovery with Steven Young

/

This week, Mike interviewed Stephen Young, expert in crisis response about recovery from a crisis. Steve led the response/recovery team for Cyclone Larry in Queensland, 2006. At the time it was the largest natural disaster response in Australian history - Steve and his team significantly contributed to current crisis response and recovery methodology.

"Whilst we may well be ready to recover, personally, or as an organisation or small business, those around you may not be ready to recover...

Recovery solutions are typically complicated because they are multi-faceted. Everybody recovers at different speeds."

As mentioned in this session this week, reflection is an important piece to our recovery, so we are pressing pause next week... no new content or guests.

We would instead take the time to touch base with the people present in the call; tackle questions that may have arisen from what we have discussed over the last few weeks; and to know what you would like to hear in the coming weeks.

As we saw a couple of weeks ago, a leader during a crisis such as Covid-19 crisis ideally fulfills 5 Key Leadership Tasks, these are Sense-making, Decision-making & Coordination, Meaning-making, Accounting & Termination, and finally Learning. During next week’s session, we will have Stephen Young back to discuss the challenges we will face planning for recovery from this unprecedented global crisis. History shows that those that plan their recovery well and that learn from a crisis will not only bounce back, but more importantly they’ll bounce forward.  

Better practice recovery demands that the crisis leader develops an in depth understanding of the context, the complexities, the coordination and communication requirements that recovery will require.

Stephen will discuss the principles and pillars of recovery and respond to key questions about what you can do within your own organisations to recover from and bounce forward out of this crisis.

Watch out for this week's video with Pip Loader on the topic SHOWING UP IS HALF THE BATTLE!

How are you showing up right now? Are you bringing your best self to the table? Or are there cracks appearing in your ‘diplomacy dike’?

Whether you are leading or working in a team, are a parent with kids now home 24/7, or you are simply wanting to focus your time and energy where it is needed the most right now, this session will provide a practical framework to help you work through how to show up as the best version of you, for yourself and others, as we navigate this current journey. 

Pip Loader works in Leadership & Team development, helping people connect, create and deliver impact in their day-to-day work and lives.  This session is part of based on a section of her ‘Meaningful Leadership’ coaching program (and slightly adapted for current times!)  Pip is a firm believer that ‘Everything we do, starts and ends, with people’.

Next week, I'll be talking to Stephen Young who is a 40-year veteran of local and international crisis management. His company Turning Point Crisis Management works with leaders to build organisational resilience and responsiveness. Stephen and I have presented together and independently on crisis management courses for Fire Services, Biosecurity, Police Counter Terrorism, Oil Spill Response Teams (local, federal and global).

In a crisis, there are 5 key leadership tasks:

  1. Sensemaking,

  2. Decision-making & coordination,

  3. Meaning making,

  4. Accounting for the response, and

  5. Learning for improvement/future prevention.

We'll discuss the first 3; how can we make sense of this Coronavirus situation, what decisions must we make and how will we make these, and finally how will we make meaning of this crisis to all of our stakeholders. Crisis leaders get harshly judged when they passively stand by and wait for the situation to unfold. How can you ensure you are proactive enough without being foolhardy?

More about Stephen here.

I look forward to seeing you on the call.
