Be sure to read the separate announcement about NCVPS Spirit Week!

Got missing work?  Previous weeks remain open.  Remember that Weeks 1-8 will close March 5 so use your time wisely if you need to complete missing work.

Ready, learn, lead!

Leaders get tested during natural disasters.  What are the qualities a leader should possess to handle a crisis such as Hurricane Matthew?
In Eric Stein's article "Crisis Leadership: The 4 Keys to Preparing," he explains that handing any crisis is a combination of preparation as well as strong leadership in the moment. He goes on to say:

"When we judge our leaders’ and their organizations’ performance as crisis managers, it is important not only to look at how they rose (or failed to rise) to the challenge on “game day,” but also to what extent they empowered and prepared their followers, partners and citizens long before the moment of crisis. "
                           - Eric Stein in Emergency Management, July 2013, http://www.emergencymgmt.com/disaster/Crisis-Leadership-4-Keys-Preparing.html

Which leadership characteristics from this course do you see in Stein's ideas?  How can you use what he says to help your leadership journey?
