Why Be A Meta-Leader?

"Thinking ahead and preparing for disaster before it happens are critical to a community. Gathering together community leaders from all areas is a good place to start. We think better as a team, with ideas flowing from many different perspectives."

      – Jeff Turner

         President & CEO, Spirit AeroSystems, Wichita, KS

No matter how well prepared your organization is for a disaster, your plans will be affected by how other organizations respond. Actions taken by local or federal agencies, such as quarantines or facility closures, can greatly impact businesses and their continuity of operations. And decisions made by corporations and nonprofits that affect the availability of products or services can influence governmental response.

When you act as a meta-leader, you begin to learn the interests and capabilities of a diverse array of organizations. You build relationships with other leaders who may have information and resources that are critical to you and your organization in a crisis. And you share the expertise and assets that your own organization may bring to the table. In short, you become part of a seamless network of people, organizations, information and resources ready to respond.
