Blindsided: A Manager's Guide to Catastrophic Incidents in the Workplace

Crisis Management International often gets the first phone call from companies that have experienced disaster, and has helped 150 firms recover after September 11. CMI's founder and CEO, Bruce T. Blythe, has written Blindsided: A Manager's Guide to Catastrophic Incidents in the Workplace, a guide to securing a business' structure and rebuilding employees' spirits in times of trouble. The thorough and timely book is divided in two parts: response and preparedness. Since last year's terrorist attacks, ""the possibilities for crisis in the workplace are more ominous and far more real,"" Blythe says. His book will be a boon to leaders, offering field-tested approaches, development plans and reference tips. (Aug. 26)
