Leaders. What keeps you up at night? Welcome to the C-Suite Spot, the podcast series that expands the traditional term of what a ‘boss’ is to tackle some of the most important issues in business from start-up, through step-up, succession planning and scaling a corporate or global business. Leadership can be lonely. In this series we talk with and learn from inspiring leaders from all walks of life, touching on important topics about how to really live, successful business strategies, overcoming challenges, managing an issue or crisis, getting your company structure right and implementing well, making the tough calls, balancing life and work and getting our priorities right. From business as usual and growing your market to everyday leadership issues or handling 100-year events and everything in between – we aim to provide ongoing inspiration and education and a meeting place for CEOs, founders, management, shareholders and leadership.

Dr Chris Galloway: Practical frameworks and ideas on how to plan for, execute and respond during a company crisis
In this episode we chat with Dr Chris Galloway to offer useful tips on some of the most-asked questions we receive when it comes to company issues, crises and risk.

His interests include reputation management and reputation risk, topics on which he runs workshops for the Public Relations Institute of New Zealand. Chris is an occasional media analyst in both print and broadcast media, and a contributor to www.companycrisis.co.nz.
We often have founders, c-suite, board members and chairpersons request help for company issues and crises. To help answer some of the most common questions, Chris and Dwayne Alexander, Global Practice Leader at Alexander PR, sat down for a chat.
Topics we cover in this episode include:
- The “golden hour” has shrunk to minutes – implications for leaders;
- What is a risk matrix for boards?
- What CEOs have learned through Covid-19 and can apply for 2021;
- EQ, intuition, confirmation bias and board behaviour;

- A framework of five different response strategies leaders and organisations tend to choose;
- The concept and implementation of a “ready response team”;
