What is a Crisis?

• A difficult period of potential or actual harm to
  employees, or damage to the company's brand
  or financial stability, triggered by a sudden event
  or long-smoldering issue

 do widespread IT failures or natural disasters,
 among other things

                                     Manager’s Communication Toolkit 34
Crisis Communication Goals
• Make it clear that employees’ safety is the first
  concern, if applicable
• Describe facts and actions being taken as you know

 them — tell them what you know, what you don’t
 know
 and when you think you’ll know more. Then follow-
 up!
• Ensure your messages are consistent with business
 messages
• Create a regular forum for employees to ask/submit
 questions and for you to provide answers   Manager’s Communication Toolkit 35

Notas do Editor

  1. Everyone needs to understand what is expected on the job and how the job fits in with the bigger picture. How much latitude do they have in decision-making? What will they be measured against at evaluation time.
  2. People need regular performance feedback and coaching if they are to improve their performance continuously. We’ll talk about this in more detail later in the Workshop.
  3. I want to spend a little extra time on this one, because it’s one of the most important, but most often the one that we as managers put at the bottom of the list. Does anyone care refers to recognition and appreciation for a job well done. Remember “thank you” goes a long way. But this also refers to something I call walking the floor. Jeff Immelt refers to it as “being in the field.” In other words, stopping to see your employees informally and getting to know them. It gives employees the opportunity to ask questions and express ideas. It gives you the opportunity to reinforce key messages, squelch rumors, solicit feedback and strengthen relationship and commitment – to help you meet your business goals. This is particularly important during a crisis or difficult time. But, ironically, this is when managers tend to do it the least. For instance, several months ago it was all over the press that GE Capital was planning to layoff 7,000 employees. First thing Monday morning, many managers stayed in their offices because they didn’t know what to say or didn’t have all of the answers. Actually, they should have been more visible than ever. It’s OK, not to have all of the answers. Walking the floor: Let’s employees be heard/ask questions Allows you to tell what you do know or what rumors aren’t true Gives you the opportunity to tell them when you think you will know more – and commit to getting back to them.
  4. People identify closely with a work unit and its successes and failures. They need to know from their supervisors and managers how that work unit is performing against expectations. You should have a regular time set aside to update your employees about how your work unit is doing.
  5. It’s difficult to perform when you don’t understand your destination and the objectives of the company. A clear vision, stated with passion and simplicity and related to customer needs gives workers that needed direction.
  6. When employees know the answers to the first five questions, they are likely to demonstrate their commitment to making the company succeed. Always remember that employee commitment is a gift that can be given freely or withheld.
  7. Our organization’s success is dependent on the success of each of our employees. As leaders within GE, we are committed to meeting our goal through the coaching and development of our employees.
  8. GE is committed to being the Global Employer of Choice. Our goal is to create an environment where: People have an opportunity to learn and grow professionally and personally. Coaching is no longer a ritual solely for performance review. Coaching is a powerful way for employees to work with, motivate and support one another.
  9. Before beginning to prepare for coaching, it is important to first identify the need, and consider: What is the scenario? What specific behaviors did you observe? Is this a coaching or performance issue The steps of Inquiry, Reflecting and Advocacy can be understood in the following terms: Ask, Listen, Tell.
  10. Open Inquiry Helps to generate responses and gather information Closed Inquiry Helps when seeking specific answers         Through reflection you can: Build Relationship & Rapport Confirm or Clarify coach’s understanding of coachee’s facts and feelings Reduce anxiety of coachee Allow coachee to feel understood Reduce resistance of coachee to potential solution Through advocacy, you can Build Relationships & Rapport Share Standards and Provide Feedback Offer Suggestions for Improvement/Continued Performance Propose Specific Plans of Action
  11. Feedback, when offered effectively, integrates all phases of the Communication Cycle. _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________
  12. Increases motivation and success Supports effective behavior Guides and put individuals back on track Acts as a barometer to show where you stand Recognizes progress Fills in knowledge gaps Aligns expectations Alleviates fear of the unknown
  13. Three different types of Feedback: Self-feedback : Often prompted by a Coach’s questioning, necessitates returning to Inquiry. Involves the coachee self-reflecting on their performance. Motivational Feedback : Focuses on actions to continue to do. Developmental Feedback : Focuses on areas to change / to improve.
  14. Feedback should be a two-way exchange of information that allows each person to share his/her perspective and come to an agreement on appropriate actions. _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________
  15. As we talked about before, many managers say that their instinct during a crisis is to limit communication with employees so they are not faced with difficult questions. However, in times of crisis, it’s essential to quickly, candidly and frequently communicate with employees. Your people want to learn about their company from their company, before they see news coverage or hear it from friends or family.
  16. You’ll find that the importance of having an ongoing strategic communication process is never more evident than in a time of crisis. If you don’t regularly communicate with employees, they may not find a sudden and serious message from leadership credible, or, more likely, they will think it’s cause for alarm. The first thing, if appropriate to the situation, is for your leadership team to let employees know that the business’ first concern is their safety. Fear of the unknown is a big source of tension. Employees need to be told the crisis details and risks in a calm, reassuring manner. Let employees know exactly what is happening. If you don’t know the answer it’s OK to say “I don’t know the answer, but I commit to getting back to you when I do. Create an ongoing system for getting updated information to employees. And provide a forum for employees to voice concerns and ask questions.
  17. Walk through example… If time allows: Provide everyone with a copy of this sheet. Split everyone into small groups and ask the groups to split up initiatives among the individuals in their group (e.g., could be net income, GEOC, ACFC, etc…) Each person should take a few minutes to themselves to write down up to three key messages that they need to help employees understand what the imperatives mean to them and their role in simple language designed to help employees understand what the message means to them. Then, each person should role play delivering their messages to the others in their group. Allow 15-20 minutes for this exercise. (Five minutes for message development, then five minutes for each person to deliver their message to their small group and get feedback from others in the group.) After the exercise, ask everyone (1) what was helpful about the exercise; and (2) what was the most challenging.
