Businesses are expected to face a crisis management situation at some point, whether big or small. In the event that any crisis arrives, it is very important that a brand manages it well. Even proficiently managed companies could become stranded by an unanticipated PR catastrophe. A company's sales, bottom line, and reputation may suffer from recalls of hazardous or contaminated products, product liability litigations, and other unanticipated catastrophes.
A CEO's first instinct during a PR disaster might be to stifle the media and decline to comment.
