Managing Crisis in Organizations and in my Daily Life

Society is always changing and nothing is permanent in this world, that’s what I’ve been taught. You should not expect that today is as happy and joyful as tomorrow. And somehow, you should prepare ourselves for any problem that may arise. And even if you want your organization to run smoothly, crisis sometimes crops up unexpectedly.
Before, when I hear the word crisis, I become frightened. But now, since I have already learned a lot of strategies in managing it, one of which is creating an environment where people could communicate and discuss with each other the crisis and its possible solutions, I am more confident and open to crisis.
What we are taught in school is all about managing crisis in organizations, but who would have known that we could also use the lessons we’ve learned in managing crisis in our life. That is the beauty of OrgCom, it teaches you key concepts and you learn to apply it in your daily life as you go along. It is more realistic than other courses because it doesn’t give you a one-sided reality of life. Instead, it gives you the whole picture and it’s up to you to explore each and every one of them. It may not always be positive, but you will definitely learn from it.
