The ABA recently released a new book titled Chief Crisis Officer:
Structure and Leadership for Effective Communications Response,
which serves as a comprehensive resource for executives in the private
and nonprofit sectors facing crisis situations that call for public
responses. In addition to traditional communication outlets, the book
raises the topic of using the Internet and social media platforms during
crises.
The book also stresses the need to appoint a person to serve as the go-
to leader when a crisis happens in order to stay on message. To learn
