Using DBT's Problem-Solving and Radical Acceptance Skills to Navigate High-Stakes Corporate or Public Relations Crises

A crisis rarely arrives wearing a name badge. At 8:07 a.m., it may look like a customer complaint. By 9:20, a video has escaped the customer-service queue and reached a reporter. At 11:00, an employee has contradicted the company's first statement. By lunch, senior leaders are asking questions that cannot all be answered at once: What happened? Who knew? Is anyone in danger? What do we say? Who approves it? Can we say that? Why is the stock moving? Why is a senator posting about us?

The defining feature of a crisis is not merely bad news. It is a sharp mismatch between the speed of events and the organization's capacity to understand and respond to them. Facts arrive out of order. Attention narrows. People protect their identities, departments, and assumptions. Ordinary approval chains become liabilities. Meanwhile, every stakeholder expects the organization to act as if it possesses a clean, complete picture.
