Most people are uncomfortable communicating with someone who is experiencing a crisis or loss — from loss of a loved one to loss of a job. We don’t know what to say or do to help, so we focus on “business as usual,” say nothing at all and hope it passes quickly, or refer that person to counselling.
But it doesn’t just dissipate, what he or she is going through. Today’s leaders must ensure that our workplaces have the structure, ability, and language to communicate and help effectively when crisis hits — whether at work or at home.
In this guide, author Laurie M. Martin offers real-life examples, skill building tools, and practical information to prepare organizational leaders, managers and employees — each one of us in fact — to help ourselves and others through life’s interruptions. By including topics we’d rather ignore, Laurie not only increases our awareness of the strength of the human spirit, but also teaches us how to understand and help each other.
