I’ve listened to Reid Hoffman (@reidhoffman) and the ‘Masters of Scale’ podcast for a while now. During a recent drive home from vacationing in Tybee Island, GA (wonderful place) I was fortunate to hear Reid speak with Ellen Kullman (@EllenKullman) and hear about her “4 crisis principles”. Kullman is the former CEO of DuPont, a Director at General Motors and the current CEO of the 3D-printing company Carbon.

Of particular interest is that Kullman distilled her vast experience and knowledge down to four key things to focus on during a crisis. Of course this struck home to me as someone who has done a similar distillation of processes to the concept of focusing on the “Foundational Four” things that can get teams started in the right direction for projects, planned events or no-notice incidents.
I highly recommend listening to the Masters of Scale episode “4 Principles of Crisis Management” to learn more about Kullman’s principles and to how I believe they parallel the Foundational Four concepts below.
Thank you for reading the blog, listening to the podcast and Godspeed,
Kevin
