Do You Know Where Your Disaster Recovery Plan Is
Disasters of major magnitude are major news again after the Gulf coast region of the United States was hit by 2 major hurricanes. So it is very timely for me to ask each of you: “Do you know where your disaster recovery plan is?” “Do you even have a disaster recovery plan or crisis management plan?” “What business contingency plans do you have?” I am very concerned that in too many cases the answers would be “No” “No” and “None!” The plain hard truth is that if your business is going to continue to perform at a profitable or administratively adequate level when a crisis occurs, crisis/emergency planning is imperative. You must have a properly prepared disaster recovery plan in place and have the appropriate staff fully briefed on their responsibilities.
Lesson #4: Break Records
“We’re going where no one has gone before,” says Branson, referring to Virgin Galactic’s partnership with the estate of New Mexico to build the world’s first commercial spaceport. “There’s no model to follow, nothing to copy. That is what makes this so exciting.”
Crisis Leadership Lessons
Leadership in normal times is relatively easy. The real test of a leader's ability is how he/she reacts in time of crisis. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has provided the disaster and the media has provide the snapshot of leadership or the lack thereof. While there are many lessons that current or prospective leaders can learn, let's start with the most glaring error and the easiest one to remedy.
Third Generation Leadership - why we need it NOW!
If ever there was a "wake up call" as to the necessity to shift our leadership understanding and approach then this Gulf of Mexico disaster should be it. The time is ripe for facilitating a shift to a Third Generation Leadership world view as our dominant paradigm.

Pinpointing BP's Pitfalls: 8 Ways to Reconnect After a Disaster
Maribeth Kuzmeski offers advice on how they could have better connected with the public throughout the spill-and explains the lessons you can learn from them. For the past two months, our eyes have been glued to news of the Gulf Coast oil spill. And with each barrel that gushes into the Gulf, our anxiety and frustration rises exponentially. Much of our ire is aimed squarely at BP. With each day that passes, the oil company is buried deeper in a disaster that will surely be difficult to overcome. And according to Maribeth Kuzmeski, what makes the situation worse is how BP has chosen to connect with the media and the public during these critical days-resorting to misleading information, poor communication, and neglect in order to dodge responsibility for the spill.
Talent, Communication, and the BP Oil Spill
Tony Hayward, CEO of BP, has had a pretty rough couple of weeks. His response to the grilling by congress and his handling of communications surrounding the Gulf of Mexico oil situation was tone deaf to say the least – at least to US ears. And yet Tony is obviously a very talented guy. After all you don’t get to be CEO of BP by being a slouch. So what went went wrong? One of the hypotheses that have been circulating in the media is that there is a culture difference between the UK and USA on the use of language. As remarked by the playwright George Bernard Shaw, “England and America are two countries separated by the same language”.

We are merely Stewards of the Earth and the Ocean
As the Gulf Oil Crisis continues and spreads more and more lives are affected. Humility in the face of our Earth and Ocean is key.
Do Publicity Stunts Work? As Sarah would say, 'You Betcha!'
Publicists have long put a human face on a story. Hollywood celebrities promote causes. Victims flee hurricanes. President Roosevelt once dispatched photographers to take compelling pictures of victims of the dust bowl of the 1930's to evoke sympathy for them. When orchestrated right, stunts can be powerful media exposure generators.

When Disaster Strikes: Essential Financial Documents
When flood, fire, or another fast-moving disaster occurs, our first and correct inclination is to save ourselves and our family members (and this includes dearly loved pets) by getting out of the danger zone as swiftly as possible. However, when you have some warning, as is often the case with hurricanes, rising waters from incipient floods, or wildfires, you may want to consider having your important financial documents in one spot so you can grab and run.
Casualty Losses
Hurricane Ike inflicted a steep penalty on the Texas Gulf coast. However, there is an inconspicuous benefit – casualty loss tax deductions. Taxpayers may be able to take a 2008 deduction if either personal or business property was damaged by Hurricane Ike.
