Controlling emotions, addressing bias, and implementing vigorous analysis to lead through a crisis
Crisis leadership occurs when there is a threat to the continued existence of the organization. Leaders must navigate tense emotions and conflicting information and select an appropriate strategy to execute.
Students will learn the stages of a crisis and how to identify which stage they are in.
In section one, students will learn how to regulate emotions. Crises are difficult and tense times that cause stress and uncertainty and drain morale. Leaders who can manage their emotions project more authority and confidence to their teams and organizations. This course will also provide steps on how to compartmentalize their emotions.
In section two, students will learn how to triage information, how to define the scope of the crisis and common cognitive biases. Halo and horn biases are among those reviewed. Students will learn how to maintain perspective.
In section three, different types of analysis are introduced to enable leaders to think about a crisis in different ways. In this section, students will learn about open and closed systems and different analytical tools such as Porter’s Five Forces, speed vs patience, and SWOT.
Students will learn what is an elegant and eloquent solution to a crisis.

All solutions must be both elegant and eloquent.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
