• 00 Dr. James Hearn – “Leading in a crisis or in a chaotic type of situation, if you find yourself in that, the first thing you want to think about is it is not a crisis. Not in the sense of the word. Because when you start using terms like “crisis” and ‘chaotic, “ it sets up a negative attitude. So, all of a sudden, it is just overwhelming. And to me, what you have is a business problem. And what are you paid for? Solving business problems. And if you treat it that way, it becomes an immeasurable range.”
