Some were almost paralyzed by the magnitude of the problems.  I wanted to make a contribution to help people deal with this overwhelming situation, and decided that the best way to do that was to write about examples of leaders facing other crises: how they dealt with then, how some successfully overcame the crises, while others failed, and why." – Dr. Eric Flamholtz on the creation of "The Crisis Leadership Playbook".
