From chaos to calm | Eric Lang | TEDxCoconutGrove

Описание: Eric Lang is Fire Chief for the Village of Key Biscayne and has developed a model for decision making based on his experiences in resolving life and death crisis issues. To make better decisions in a crisis, as well as every day life, Eric suggests we can shift our perspective, recognize our place in the emergency, and use techniques to move towards calm and strategy to maximize the chances of the best possible outcome.

Critical decisions are part of life for Eric Lang. He is a founding Paramedic/ Firefighter for The Village of Key Biscayne and is passionate about strategic thinking. After completing his MBA at the University of Miami he integrated the connections between emergency decisions that are made in business and daily life. Presently, he is the Key Biscayne Fire Chief, where he applies “Critical and Strategic Thinking” on a daily basis. It could be an emergency response or more traditional organizational decisions that need to be made and executed. The challenge of managing budgets, union contracts, crisis communications, and leading people requires a plan of action that is efficient and effective. Eric has combined his skills and knowledge to teach these strategic thinking concepts to create the right plan for any circumstance, business, or goal.
