Editor’s Note: The composition of your core PR crisis team, how often it meets and how it jumps into action when a situation arises form this edition’s dialogue, which was lightly edited. The participants are Ayme Zemke, EVP, client service & certified crisis communication leader, Beehive Strategic Communication, and Leonard Greenberger, VP, AKCG-Public Relations Counselors.
Takeaways include:
- Keep the CEO off your core crisis team, at least initially.
- A nimble, cross-functional team is best, and should sometimes include external members.
- Familiarize members with each other and crisis procedures via periodic practice.
- Basic protocols are invaluable.
- Avoid finger-pointing with fact gathering.
