Drawing upon lessons from her book, The Devil Never Sleeps, Juliette Kayyem, Belfer Senior Lecturer in International Security, will speak with Center for Public Leadership Co-Director and former Governor Deval Patrick on laying the groundwork for a new approach to dealing with disasters.
The future may still be unpredictable, but nowadays, disasters are not. We live in a time of constant, consistent catastrophe, where things more often go wrong than they go right. So why do we still fumble when disaster hits? Why are we always one step behind? Presenting the basic themes of crisis management, Kayyem amends the principles we rely on far too easily. Instead, she offers us a new framework to anticipate the “devil’s” inevitable return, highlighting the leadership deficiencies we need to overcome and the forward thinking we need to harness. It’s no longer about preventing a disaster from occurring, but learning how to use the tools at our disposal to minimize the consequences when it does.
