Legacy of Leadership Volume 1

“Invaluable perspective from leaders who have been there, in the throes, managing through very different types of crises. Each of these short interviews contains a number of Key Takeaways that are highly applicable in a multitude of situations. Each crisis leader is also asked to think with the advantage of hindsight what they wished they had known at the time of the crisis. Digesting all these learnings as good advice will help sharpen the instincts of anyone who may suddenly be placed in the role of crisis manager.”

"There's no better way to improve your capabilities in any subject than to study those who have been through the fire time and time again. This collection presents the rare opportunity to learn from the successes, and the battle scars, of 21 veteran crisis leaders, and is a must-read for anyone who believes in the importance of being capable at the helm of their own organization when rough seas come calling."

"There are times in our lives when true leadership is needed. Never is this more important than during an emergency. While multiple bookshelves elucidate on theories about leadership, too often they lack the personal narrative of those that lived the moment. In Legacy of Leadership, Mike McKenna gives us a seat at the table with those leaders that have stepped up in the moments of greatest need. In their own words, we hear the personal journey, built on knowledge and experience, that only time allows for through reflection and contemplation. The varied scenarios allow leaders from all sectors to gain insights and a model for when their moment of leadership is needed. These leaders took action, made adjustments based on the situation, and brought teams together to maximize their talents when the moment needed it most. Through it all they displayed humility and compassion. They were leaders."

"This book is great for the new professional trying to understand what crisis leadership is from true leaders in the profession. You can pick up this book between meetings or calls and gain insight on crisis leadership."

"Mike has been sharing the message of Crisis Leadership for a long time … so adding the gift of a legacy to that leadership message was instantly intriguing. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to not only improve their own Crisis Leadership but to help leave a legacy for those that come behind!"
