The ability to properly lead becomes increasingly difficult in times of disaster.  So in addition to making a preparedness plan, it's also a good idea to discover ways to take charge while staying focused on what's important—employee safety and a quick recovery and re-opening for business.

Join Agility Recovery and the U.S. Small Business Administration in a live online discussion on Tuesday, June 12 with former FEMA Administrator David R. Paulison.
