Crisis communication lessons learned from Gov. Eliot Spitzer
Time 21:28
You’ve probably heard about Eliot Spitzer and his, well, lapse in judgment. We’re not going to spend too much time rehashing the ins and outs of what happened and the political significance (or lack thereof, depending on your perspective). Instead, my colleague Mike Keliher, who heads our PR practice here at Provident Partners, and I are going to analyze this situation from a PR perspective and share some thoughts on crisis communication.
As I’ve mentioned before, I worked in politics for a long time, which included a stint as the press secretary for the Republican National Committee. So I’ve been around the block on political communication. In this podcast, we talk about the important considerations in planning crisis communication, using the political example as a teaching point for corporate situations.
