    As the emergency resonse coordinator you understand the imortance of

    emergency training for your staff. #o$e%er ho$ can you aroach and educate

    senior management to buy&in to your light'

    Senior management in any organisations are ey staeholders in any inter%ention.

    mergency training in mines is a ey asect of oerations. Mining oerations are

    generally *risy+ and can be classified as high ris. ,n the more conser%ati%e

    organisations- management is focused on rofits and they are biased on in%esting

    in inter%entions that bring income and see emergency training as a cost that has no

    direct rofits. This is not the case ho$e%er. mergency training is critical in

    mining. As an emergency resonse coordinator in a mining entity- it is a ey result

    area to sell the ides of emergency training to senior management. This should be

    done strategically so that you secure by in. The M, #A/T# A0 SAT2 ACT-

    Methods and strategies that you can use to engage senior

    A lot of disaster reco%ery rocedures and information security is handled the $rong

    $ay by cramming fear- uncertainty- and doubt do$n managements6 throats. That

    doesn6t $or long&term. COs or to managers are lie little boys: to attract their

    attention- you ha%e to $a%e a fire truc in front of them- and if you as them if

    they refer A or B- they7ll say 8both.8

    These t$o e9amles illustrate ho$ difficult it can be to lease your senior

    management. #o$e%er- some cometiti%e intelligence analysts seem to get it: the

    door of the CO7s office is al$ays oen for them- he or she returns their hone

    calls- reads the e&mails they send- acts uon their recommendations- and the

    analysts do not seem to ha%e any difficulty in getting their budget aro%ed. hat

    The following are 9 steps to gain senior management buy-in

    1. 0eli%er

    1. O%er&deli%er

    !. Be concise". ;o for it. #el in all asects of their role?. Be$are of their ego

    !eli"er

    The first rule to obtain senior management buy&in and to gain credibility is todeli%er on the three dimensions: #uality$ time and format. @uality means your end

    roduct & a reort- a resentation or recommendations & ha%e to match

    e9ectations- that the numbers ha%e to be %erified and be correct- and that you

    are ans$ering the 5uestions. Time means you do not miss a deadline. ormat

    means if you are to ro%ide a one&age summary- you should stic $ith your

    commitment instead of roducing a 1=&age document.

    Try to go beyond $hat has been re5uested. This is $hat maes the difference

    bet$een a good analyst- and an analyst $ho $ill 5uicly mo%e to more

    resonsibilities. hat you $ant to achie%e is to surrise senior management by

    bringing in a more comlete ans$er than $hat they $ere e9ecting.

    &e concise

    0o you no$ the e9ression 8,f , had more time- it $ould be shorter'8 ,t is much

    harder to $rite a short recommendation than a long one- and this is $hy you $ant

    to aim for it.

    se the yramid rincile: Al$ays ut the conclusions- or the insights- first in your

    document. This $ill allo$ a reader $ho does not ha%e a lot of time to get the

    highlights %ery raidly.

    hen you meet $ith senior management- only ha%e one item on the agenda. They

    get easily distracted.

    'o for it

    Be blunt: gi%e it a try. ,f you disagree on a conclusion- and ha%e the bac&u to

    ro%e your oint- send the information or sit $ith management to share your

    insight. ractice the oen&door olicy: re5uest a short meeting to share a oint.

    ro%ide analysis on an ucoming decision e%en if this has not been ased: being

    roacti%e $ill ay off. This $ill mean you thin %ery hard about $hat decisions

    senior management is about to tae.

    &ring facts$ not anecdotes

    This is your secret $eaon: bringing in irrefutable facts is the ey to success. 2ou

    ha%e to become the guardian of facts- the only erson in the room $ho does not

    mae decisions based on anecdotes. ,f you stic to the facts- there is little chance

    eole can contradict you.

    ,f you ha%e to remember one asect about senior management- it is that they hate

    surrises. They $ant to be the first to no$ any maor ne$ de%eloment in the

    organisation7s en%ironment- but often- eole in the field no$ it first.

    Mae sure you sea to industry e9erts regularly. Some analysts schedule some

    time each $ee to net$or and grab the latest trends. 2ou could e%en dedicate

    half a day or a day each $ee for that urose.

    Al$ays share a document you are resenting in ad%ance $ith the eole $ho are

    attending the meeting. Share it esecially $ith those from $hom you e9ect

    disagreement. ,t $ill allo$ you to highlight the oints for $hich you7ll need to

    ro%ide strong bacu and to anticiate 5uestions.

    )a"e an answer$ always

    ,t can be a temorary ans$er- or a artial one- but from day one al$ays ha%e the

    ans$er to your analysis ready. ,t is recommended that you use the so called

    8hyothesis dri%en8 roblem sol%ing strategy- and then $or to either ro%e or

    disro%e their conclusion. This is a %ery o$erful $ay to aroach roblem sol%ing

    & if you mae sure you do not fall in lo%e $ith your hyothesis.

    &eware of their ego

    Senior managers ha%e huge egos. So use it. Mae them loo good: they are the

    ones $ho need to get the attention- so hel them be reared for it by ro%iding

    them $ith the right facts- by maing sure they can find those facts easily $hen

    resenting- or by heling them ans$er 5uestions ased.

    /et them mae the decision: instead of finishing your analysis $ith a

    recommendation- highlight the t$o or three alternati%es- and suggest $hich one

    you $ould tae. But let them mae the decision.

    0o not contradict them in ublic: related to the first oint- this means you should

    a%oid contradicting them in ublicD ,t is better to issue a memo after$ards - or to

  • 7/25/2019 Mine Rescue & Safety

    5/24

    communicate $here you thought their facts $ere $rong- but highlighting this in

    ublic $ould ensure no one $ould $ant you in their team ...

    *onclusion

    ;aining senior management buy&in is really about finding the right balance

    bet$een the soft sills (no$ing ho$ to listen to them- ho$ to anticiate their

    reactions) and hard sills (roc solid analysis- irrefutable facts- etc.). ,t is the ey

    to the sur%i%al of your role in the organiEation as ultimately $ithout that buy&in-

    you $ill be limited in your tass and resonsibilities. At the end of the day- you run

    little ris in alying rinciles highlighted in the article so ... go for itD

    and education in the emergency management field.

    Besides the maor benefit of ro%iding guidance during an emergency- training and

    education has other ad%antages. These include:

    such as the lac of resources (e5uiment- trained ersonnel- sulies)- or

    items that can be rectified before an emergency occurs. ,n addition training

    and educational inter%entions lay a sychological role of romoting safety

    Emergency managerCs leadership theory

    /eadershi sills ha%e a rominent and o$erful role in society and influences all

    asects of life in normal as $ell as crisis situations. /eaders can emerge from

    $ithin a grou and can also be formally aointed or elected. There are many

    5ualities that a leader should ha%e such as intelligence- 5uic comrehension-

    decisi%eness- courage- strength- confidence- education- no$ledge- ersonality-

    charisma and abo%e all integrity.

    There may be a long list of leadershi traits but the follo$ing fi%e attributes

    ha%e strong correlation $ith leadershi in emergency management. There are:

    1. 0ominance (ersonality)

    !. ,ntelligence

    ". Self&confidence

    /eadershi is defined as ability to influence or moti%ate a grou or community

    to$ards achie%ement of certain goals. ,n normal circumstances- leadershi is

    entirely different as all decisions are taenafter enough thining- after a rocess

    of consideration and reconsideration as $ell as $ith the thoughtful ad%ice of

    e9erts in the area.

    On the other hand in crisis situations or under unstable and disruti%e conditions or

    in disasters- tass of leaders usually becomes difficult.

    /eaders themsel%es $ill also be affected by the disaster. They could get isolated

    due to sudden breado$n of communications or become ineffecti%e under

    traumatic condition due to the suddenness and se%erity of the situation.

    /ac of information and disrution of communication become serious factors

    hamering decision maing.

    /oss or delayed a%ailability of human resources- e5uiment- transort and

    other relief commodities delays action and creates a sense of hellessness.

    ,n crisis management- leaders often use ! aroaches namely :

    i. D&oss-(pproachDin $hich one asses orders and e9ects that the

    subordinates $ill act according to the orders.ii. DTeam-(pproachDin $hich full cooeration of all concerned emloyees

    and eole is taen. ,n this case the leader $ill tae all concerned

    officers into confidence- in%ol%e them in the decision maing- monitor

    their $or and guide them from time to time for effecti%e relief

    oerations. ,n disaster situation- the latter aroach $ill be more

    effecti%e and gi%e better results.

    i. 3ersonal #ualities and self-confidence

    As mentioned abo%e- e%ery erson has some leadershi 5ualities. One should

    identify them and try to de%elo and ugrade them to the best caability. Self&

    confidence is an imortant characteristic of a leader $hich can be de%eloed by

    increasing his o$n rofessional cometence and inter&ersonal abilities.in crisis

    management most eole $ill lose hoe and confidence and a good leader is

    e9ected to be strong and on their feet assisting subordinates.

    ii. 3rofessional competence

    This cometence means no$ing $hat to do and ho$ to do it. This can be

    de%eloed by ac5uiring a high standard of no$ledge- sill and ability aroriate

    to the tas and circumstances. #igher the rofessional cometence more is the

    resect and trust that the leader $ould recei%e. As an emergencyNcrisis manager-

    you $ould be e9ected to dislay sill in dealing $ith emergency situation.

    iii. Sound /udgement and appropriate decision maing

    There are %ery much related to the rofessional cometence and e9erience of a

    erson. A leader $ith these t$o 5ualities $ill emerge successful $ith his team of

    co&$orers in any disaster situation.

    i". (bility to communicate

    Clear and concise communication $ith eole $oring $ith the leader is %ery

    much essential for roer functioning. ,n fact- this is an essential ingredient in

    de%eloing good interersonal relations that generate good$ill and loyalty to the

    leader leading to a high le%el of disciline in the team. 0uring emergency crisis

    both internal and e9ternal communication is imortant and a good leader must be

    cometent and no$s $hat to say and $hen to say it and to $ho.

    (ppropriate style of emergency leadership

  • 7/25/2019 Mine Rescue & Safety

    23/24

    Al$ays different tass re5uire different styles of leadershi. ,t is imortant for a

    successful emergency leader to understand the dimensions and re5uirements of

    the gi%en tas and adust the leadershi style to achie%e the desired results.

    1. Tells The leader orders the team and $aits for results and action $hile

    eeing an eye on the rogress. #e does not e9ect his subordinates to as

    5uestions or gi%e suggestions. This style is adoted $hen the matter is urgent

    and there is no time to lose. This is best suitable for mine emergency $here a

    slit second matters.,. SellsCon%inces the team about the decision taen by analysing the ositi%e

    and negati%e oints. ,t is lie selling ideas to the team members. Ob%iously-

    this e9ercise taes some time.=. *onsults /eader consults the team and allo$s them to articiate in the

    decision maing $ith the %ie$ to maing small adustments but the main

    thrust of the decisions of the leader are more or less final. This style is

    some$hat less time consuming than the *Sells+ style. This $ill not be best

    suitable for emergency crisis.:. 8oins The leader discusses thoroughly the roblem and the liely course of

    action. %ery member of the team is in%ol%ed in the discussion and finally the

    consensus decision re%ails. This style consumes most time but later $or is

    smooth.

    Sometimes a multi&style or mi9ed&style aroach is more useful in disaster

    situation. There are %arious different tass and each of such tass is assigned to a

    different erson instead of all tass to one- there can be better results. ,n other

    $ords- delegation of authority and $or is also an imortant asect of leadershi

    style. Of course- the leader has to continue to monitor and coordinate $ith his

    colleagues.

    Another useful factor in the de%eloment of disaster management is the strong and

    ositi%e lin bet$een leadershi and training. A high standard of training can

    ugrade the rofessionalism in the leadershi so that they ha%e more no$ledge-

    sill and confidence to tacle the liely disaster situations.

    *oordination

  • 7/25/2019 Mine Rescue & Safety

    24/24

    Coordination can be defined as combined efforts of %arious related organiEations

    and agencies to achie%e the goalNtarget of a tas and is therefore %ery essential. ,n

    fact- there is al$ays scoe for imro%ement in coordination bet$een %arious

    agenciesNorganisations $oring in emergency management.

    36IB*I37ES (B! TE*)BIUES %4 *%%6!IB(TI%B

    ,n Crisis Management- all the concerned arties ha%e common goals as discussed

    belo$.

    re&0isaster Situation& for disaster re%ention- mitigation and rearedness tominimiEe loss of life and roerty from the disaster. There are no set rinciles or

    rigid techni5ues for coordination in emergency situations because each situation is

    uni5ue in its o$n $ay. But- coordination is more effecti%e if $e follo$ the basic

    rinciles of coordination gi%en belo$:

    1. *lear 6ole (llocation

    There should be clarity in roles of different articiant arties. They should no$their authority and limitations. There should not be dulication of roles.

    ,. Betworing

    All concerned arties should ha%e roer net$oring. This $ill ro%ide them better

    understanding of strengths and $eanesses of each other and $ill also ensure

    roer coordination of efforts besides a%oiding dulication. All arties in%ol%ed

    must ha%e an idea about the caacity and caabilities of each other. This

    no$ledge is %ery essential for coordination and delegation of duties
