When people are distracted by professional or personal crises, they are less productive, deliver poor results, and suffer from health problems. Employees and their managers are not equipped to resolve these crises, which drag down otherwise valuable people and hurt the organization.

A partner in a leading Washington law firm and a crisis management veteran, Jim Moorhead has spent decades helping Fortune 500 companies and individuals conquer crises. Drawing from his years of experience, he has devised a simple, actionable process based on proven business practices that will enable managers to resolve personal and professional crises at any level of any organization.

Readers will instantly grasp the power of this four-step survival process: stay frosty, secure support, stand tall, and save your future. In addition to detailing how to use crisis management plans and other business tools, the author presents readers with personal stories of individual survivors. In-depth profiles of Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts, Boston Red Sox manager Terry “Tito” Francona, and other well-known personalities provide a fascinating exploration of what survival really means.
