One of the ‘tricks’
writers use
is deliberately
putting our characters
into very tense, stressful situations.
Why do we do this?
Because who we are
during times of crisis
is often our true selves.
Kenneth Chenault*,
CEO of American Express,
shares
“Leadership reputations
are made or lost
during times of crisis.
And the way you judge
a strong company
is really that company’s ability
to not just survive crisis
but to emerge stronger.”
How can business leaders use this?
Make the interview process
a bit stressful,
a bit uncomfortable.
Crisis reveals character.
