Organizations serving the public should have a well-defined disaster management plan, which ensures potential disasters are identified and countered before they happen. Structuring the emergency services effectively ensures that the consequences of disasters are duly minimized, and people who would be planning to attack a given facility draws back.

Gary Washburn accurately displays this conflict in his Boston Globe article “LeBron James is giving us a lesson in leadership.”

Washburn quickly explains the conflict in ...
