You're in a crisis communications situation. What are the most important skills you need to succeed?
It is important to be transparent. This means explaining the situation, providing information on what you're doing to address it and what the next steps are. Explaining the situation helps stop the rumour mill. It also can reassure stakeholders. Giving insight on what you're doing shows leadership and builds confidence in what can be an uncertain time. Giving (as much as possible) information on the next steps is crucial as stakeholders know what to expect when. And if the situation changes... again, be transparent! A crisis situation is not fun. But being prepared in advance with a central strategy will help you find some stability in a difficult time.
