How to Keep Your Cool in a Crisis as the Leader with Marty Grunder
About this episode
Marty Grunder shares a five-step framework for leaders to manage crises effectively.
In this solo episode, Marty Grunder shares his five-step crisis framework for handling angry clients, crew mistakes, and the constant firefighting that comes with spring. The real issue is never the crisis itself. It is your reaction to it. Marty walks through how to pause before responding, separate emotion from facts, own the outcome, solve in layers, and build systems that prevent repeat fires. Leadership is not about reacting better. It is about building a business that does not need constant reacting.
