Much of the published work on disaster response has focused on
specific disasters, highlighting what went wrong. Taking a new
approach, this book explores ways in which transformational
leadership principles may be applied to an organization's disaster
preparation and response, moving the organization away from a
competitive or top-down approach and toward a more collaborative
one. Rather than focus on centralizing responsibility, with
commands emanating from the top, author William Lester offers
readers a new paradigm, with step by step instructions on placing
transformative and collaborative systems front and center, in order
to develop a sustainable disaster response system - one that is not
centered on a specific leader or time, but instead focuses on the
changes needed to build a system that can outlive any one leader.
Implementation plans to move from concept into workable, effective
strategies that can be used immediately are included. Assuming no
prior background in either organizational theory or disaster
response systems, the book offers practical examples and hands-on
explorations of the responses to Hurricanes Sandy, Harvey, Irma,
and Maria, written by experts who know those disasters best -
delivering important insight into what elements make the best
disaster response system.
