Tammy, After working with behavior problem students in special education I realized the best policy is to remain calm and remove the issue away from the other students. The same is true for adults. If your emotion raises so does the person you are talking with. Dr. Gary Carlson

Crisis Management

Crisis management varies definitely with the geographical area you may live. Being proactive with the potential issues is the best first step. Usually the best plans are those that resemble each other. First and foremost is taking care of the people to keep them out of harms way.

Jessica, It is helpful if you have someone you can talk with about your situations. Just talking it out sometimes solves the issue or gives you some ideas on how to resolve the problem. Dr. Gary Carlson

Preparing for a Meeting

Susan, I agree with you. We should never have a meeting for a meeting sake. Both you as a leader and your people may want to place items on an agenda. When the items are necessary for discussion a meeting should be held. When we meet just to meet the meaningfulness of the meeting diminishes. Dr. Gary Carlson
