The Prepared Leader: Crisis Management w/ Erika James and Lynn Wooten – Wharton School Press Q&A

The Wharton School Press' "Meet the Authors" series continues with guests Erika H. James (Dean, Wharton School) and Lynn Perry Wooten (President, Simmons University) – the authors of “The Prepared Leader: Emerge from Any Crisis More Resilient Than Before" – and host Prof. Michael Useem.

They discussed crisis management and leadership, real-world examples of leadership in action, management through the COVID-19 pandemic and social justice movement, and more.

More on the book:
From their unique perch at the top of two most prestigious institutions, Erika H. James and Lynn Perry Wooten provide a roadmap for leaders to help them lead through any crisis.

The next crisis might be here now, or it might be around the corner. In The Prepared Leader: Emerge from Any Crisis More Resilient Than Before, two history-making experts in crisis leadership—James, dean of The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and Wooten, president of Simmons University—forcefully argue that the time to prepare is always.

In no other time in recent history have leaders in every industry and on every continent grappled with so many changes that have independently and simultaneously undermined their ability to lead. The Prepared Leader encapsulates more than two decades of the authors’ research to convey how it has positioned them to navigate through the distinct challenges of today and tomorrow. Their insights have implications for every leader in every industry and every worker at every level.
