Superhero: Assessment and Development for Crisis Management Leadership
Moderator: Robert Chandler, Ph.D., Lipscomb University

This webinar focuses on Super Leadership know-how, skills and abilities, appropriate for those who currently lead, plan to lead or who want to be prepared to lead when called upon to do so during critical situations. Are you ready to be a Superhero Leader? Join us for this assessment and development webinar and build your leadership skills.

Leadership is the most influential and critical element of successfully managing a contingency or crisis. Effective leaders have the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to inspire and impact others. Super Leaders are defined by their abilities and actions, not their titles or positions. A Super Leader understands the core mission and objectives, as well as the situation contingency actions plans and goals of effective crisis management. In addition, a good leader has the skills that enable them to perform at high levels of effectiveness.

Emerging Trends in Mass Violence: Vehicular Terrorist Attacks
Steve Crimando, Behavioral Science Applications

From 2014 through April 30, 2018 there were 25 terrorist vehicle ramming attacks worldwide. These attacks have resulted in 214 deaths and 881 injuries, including those killed and injured in the most recent attack in Toronto. Such attacks have dramatically increased in their frequency over the past three years. They have become the tactic of choice for Homegrown Violent Extremists (HVEs) who have increasingly employed vehicle ramming as a low-cost, low-tech weapon of mass destruction. The ease of execution combined with the difficulty in detecting or deterring such attacks has made this terrorist tactic a particularly challenging problem for the law enforcement and intelligence community.

Presentation Highlights:

  • Defining and understanding the scope of the problem
  • Trends, patterns and case examples
  • The vehicular attack ā€œplaybookā€
  • Attacker motivations and pre-incident behaviors
  • Strategies for safety and survival
