Editorial Reviews

Corporate Public Issues
"Effective Crisis Communication highlights the importance and consequences of effective "processes" - or lack of - in its coverage ofcorporate and public-sector successes and failures in dealing with core issues of leadership, uncertainty, risks, ethics and renewal. Rather than being a guide on how to prevent crises, the book provides practical tools and easily digestible advice aimed at uncovering and acting on opportunities embedded in crisis."
