Jeff welcomes to the podcast Joseph M. Kaczmarczyk, DO, MPH, MBA.
Joseph specializes in teaching physicians about crisis leadership and crisis management. Although there is overlap between crisis leadership and crisis management, there is a distinct difference between the two. Crisis leadership is knowing the right thing to do, while crisis management is knowing how to do things right.
Since every physician may be called on to be a crisis manager, it’s important to know what comprises crisis management. Joseph prefers to define crisis management using the GHP model - which consists of four components.
- Component 1 - Issues Management. This consists of performing an environmental scan to identify any issues with the potential to become crises, generating a risk image, obtaining stakeholders’ views of these threats, and to ascertain the probable consequences.
- Component 2 - Planning & Prevention. This consists of establishing a proactive policy to respond to potential crises and preparing contingency plans.
- Component 3 - The Crisis. This consists of evaluating your response to the crisis, targeting your message to the appropriate audiences, and minimizing harm to your stakeholders.
- Component 4 - The Post-Crisis. This consists of monitoring the crisis, informing stakeholders of your actions, evaluating how the crisis management plan worked.
Most importantly, practice crisis management!
