How to Convince the Boss to Act
• Reduce your enthusiasm.• Focus on the threats to them – be
sensible, simple, positive and constructive.
• Let them approve the process before you spring your plan.
• Leaders like to choose their own directions and solutions.

Here is What to Talk About

21
So What?
1. Attack strategies can build huge, diverse audiences quickly.
2. Sites remain long after problems are resolved, sometimes forever.
3. Attacks raise questions among key base audiences that must be answered, in any event.
4. Failing to respond can be toxic to leader reputation and career.

22
And Why?
• Management needs to understand… help them.• Your destiny is your responsibility.• Social media counteracts the #1 criticism of all
crisis response – failure to speak promptly.• Even the briefest pause or silent period is
impossible to credibly explain or excuse.• Silence makes you the perpetrator. • If you don’t manage your own destiny,
someone else is waiting out there to do it for you, or is already trying.

Lukaszewski’s 1st Axiomof Crisis Survival
• Neither the government, your toughest critic, blogger, bloviator or bellyacher, or the media can take you down. It’s always done by an uninformed but well-meaning employee, self-appointed explainer, critic, a well-meaning friend or relative.
