Leaders Under Fire in Sports - S1 E7: Steering Into the Skid

Steering Into the Skid: How Leaders Handle Crisis Without Making It Worse When leaders come under fire, the first mistake is often the one that compounds the crisis. In this episode of Leaders Under Fire in Sports, Bob Boland, Jeff Chatterton, and Dr. Jeremy Piasecki unpack how coaches, executives, and public figures should respond when they’re under investigation, facing allegations, or dealing with public scrutiny. From the power of “stop digging” to the credibility bank leaders build long before a crisis hits, the conversation focuses on what separates a manageable problem from a reputation disaster. The panel also explores why defensiveness backfires, when an explanation is better than denial, and how great leaders steer into the skid instead of spinning out. #LeadersUnderFireInSports #Leadership #CrisisCommunication #SportsLeadership #Coaching #PublicRelations #Accountability #ReputationManagement #SportsPodcast #LeadershipLessons #CultureinSports
