Strategic Corporate Crisis Management: Building an Unconquerable Organization (Routledge, 2022) challenges the notion that corporate crisis teams can be expected to swoop in and “save the day.” The book’s author, Brendan Monahan, says the role of the crisis team should be to advance a culture of readiness across an organization, and to foster leadership and crisis competency where it’s needed, when it’s needed. A 2000 Boston College graduate, Monahan is a security intelligence and crisis professional with 20 years of experience leading organizations through crisis and incident response. In his book, he presents an alternative to traditional models of centralized crisis management, making the case for decentralizing crisis response and building resilience where it matters most. He also provides an accessible, pragmatic approach for doing so.
