Crisis Leadership Lessons from the Frontline.

Insights for High-Stakes Decisions
TUESDAY 24 MARCH 2026
11AM AEDT
45 MIN WEBINAR + 15MIN Q&A

Join Jack Salkild from Battleground for an interactive Crisis Management Webinar exploring what crisis leadership can learn from frontline decision-making. Drawing on his experience working as an Intensive Care Paramedic and operational team leader, Jack will share lessons from high-pressure environments where decisions must be made quickly, often with incomplete information and significant consequences.

Through real-world examples from emergency response and critical incident management, this session explores how leaders can structure decision-making, manage pressure, and maintain clarity during complex events.
 
Moderated by Craig Goldberg, Founder and CEO, participants will gain practical insights that can be applied directly to crisis teams, executive response groups, and organisational resilience.
