Suffering a personal or professional crisis can hold us back at work and damage business. Here is a review of Jim Moorhead’s ‘The Instant Survivor’, a brilliantly practical business approach to conquering professional and personal crises.

In a crisis, facing failure, it can be extremely hard to stay calm and focused on finding an effective way to recovery. The best in the corporate world plan, train and have teams ready to lead the rescue when things go wrong. But most of us do not have the experience or wherewithal to effectively handle misfortune on our own.

Moorhead’s advice hinges on a four-step plan: ‘stay frosty’ (keep emotions in check and stay selfish, focusing on self first then the situation); ‘secure support’ (build your personal crisis management team); ‘stand tall’ (control the crisis, not vice versa); and ‘save your future’ (take actions now to prevent crisis in your future).
