Like any living organism, organizations rely on interdependent systems--people, purpose, policies, communication. When one of these systems breaks down, the entire organization is in jeopardy.

Author Sue Knaup taps her more than 40 years working with nonprofits and coaching leaders out of crises to present remedies to predicaments that often prove fatal to organizations. Pulling from her emergency medical training, she outlines easy-to-remember steps to identify danger signs and eliminate threats so that organizations can return to their important work and regain their health.
