????在我們供職的布萊根婦女醫(yī)院（Brigham & Women's）,，特定的醫(yī)生、護士,、醫(yī)療助理團隊并肩而立,，隨時準備救治傷者,，而文書、診斷和運輸人員為他們提供支持服務,，共同應對這場危機,。內(nèi)科醫(yī)生和護士幫助清理急診室，從而為轉(zhuǎn)入醫(yī)院的幸存者提供了充足的治療空間,。在我們的急診科,，外科、骨科,、麻醉,、急診醫(yī)師和護士長攜手努力，以確保病人及時轉(zhuǎn)至手術(shù)室,。這就是哈佛商學院（Harvard Business School）領(lǐng)導力教授艾米?埃德蒙森所稱的“團隊協(xié)作”,。

????穿上一件明亮的黃色背心

????爆炸剛發(fā)生時，斯頓街陷于一片混亂之中,。但波士頓的愛國者日正是這座城市一直在規(guī)劃并準備應對的災難時刻,；因此，每個人都有一個預先確定的角色,，都穿上了可見標識,。馬拉松比賽開始前，為這場賽事服務的每一位醫(yī)生,、護士和其他志愿者都領(lǐng)到一件帶有顏色編碼的背心,。醫(yī)療急救隊、警察和消防員身著正規(guī)制服,，其中一些人也穿上了背心,。爆炸發(fā)生時，應急者和旁觀者通過背心就能識別應急行動的指揮者,。

????一旦你的公司面臨緊急事件,，誰將“穿上”象征領(lǐng)導者的背心？在危機期間,，普通的命令和控制措施往往過于遲緩,，采用委員會之類的管理方式是不恰當?shù)摹Ｗ鳛镠ICS系統(tǒng)的組成部分,，領(lǐng)導者穿上特定背心,，這樣他們就可以很容易被識別。為你的企業(yè)建立類似的準備機制：無論爆發(fā)的一場物理事故,、公關(guān)過失,、股東慘敗，還是其他任何事件,，人們應該向誰報告,？誰說了算？你的團隊如何識別領(lǐng)導者,？

????一等于無,，而二等于一

????超過50萬觀眾參加這場新英格蘭地區(qū)最大的年度體育盛會。波士頓每年都做足了萬全準備,。各種組織提前進行協(xié)調(diào)演練,，其中包括附近的創(chuàng)傷中心和三家兒童醫(yī)院，這些醫(yī)療機構(gòu)全部位于終點線的2.5公里半徑內(nèi),。

????但其他的災難往往不會發(fā)生在這樣的環(huán)境之中,。最近的例子是：今年4月17日發(fā)生的西德克薩斯州西化肥廠（West Fertilizer Plant）爆炸事件；5月20日那場席卷俄克拉荷馬州摩爾市的龍卷風,，以及7月6日韓亞航空公司（the Asiana Airlines）班機在舊金山國際機場（San Francisco International Airport）的墜毀事故,。

????為了應對這些事件，醫(yī)院頻繁地進行各種嚴苛的演練,。我們必須根據(jù)墨菲定律（Murphy's Law,，即認為會出錯的，終將出錯的論斷）制定計劃,。災難可能發(fā)生在公司CEO不在本州之際,，或者夜半時分。在這種情況下,，一位中層管理者必須挺身而出,，根據(jù)最低限度的信息肩負起責任。每一個人都必須是可替換的,，所有相關(guān)方務必緊密合作,。一個人能夠做的事情少之又少，但并肩作戰(zhàn)的兩個人則擁有巨大的力量,。

????溝通再溝通

????爆炸當天,，整個城市的醫(yī)院面臨巨大的不確定性，這種狀況持續(xù)了多日,。是否還將發(fā)生爆炸,？是否將出現(xiàn)更多的傷者？整體反應處于什么狀態(tài),？應對行動是否正在產(chǎn)生效果,？

????在多次發(fā)布簡報期間，溝通提供了一個持續(xù)改善的機會,。臨床醫(yī)生需要準確和及時的信息以優(yōu)化病人的護理方案,，但災難嚴重破壞了我們?nèi)粘Ｊ占蛡鬟f信息的流程。你是否預先制定了應對這種狀況的溝通計劃,？有沒有一項后備計劃,，以及這項后備計劃的替換方案,？

????你需要悉心管理你的團隊和信息，唯如此,，面臨危機時,，你才能獲得掌控權(quán)。

????At the hospital we work for, Brigham & Women's, designated teams of physicians, nurses, and medical assistants stood side by side, at the ready, supported by clerical, diagnostic, and transport personnel to respond to the crisis. Internal-medicine physicians and nurses helped clear emergency departments of patients to create space for incoming survivors. In our emergency department, surgeons, orthopedists, anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, and nursing leaders collaborated to ensure patients were sent to operating rooms without delay. It's what Amy Edmonson, a leadership professor at Harvard Business School, refers to as "teaming."

????Wear a bright yellow vest

????The initial scene on Boylston Street was chaos. But Patriots Day in Boston is an occasion on which the city plans and prepares for disaster; thus everyone has a predetermined role and wears visible identification. Prior to the start of the race, color-coded vests were issued to physicians, nurses, and others slated to volunteer at the event. Emergency medical services, police, and firefighters wore their regular uniforms, and some of them also donned the vests. When the explosions went off, responders and bystanders used the vests to identify responding leaders.

????At your company, who would wear the (figurative) leadership vest during emergencies? Ordinary command and control is slow, and management by committee is not appropriate during crises. As part of HICS, leaders wear specific vests so they can be easily identified. Establish the same prep for your business: Whether it's a physical accident, PR gaffe, shareholder fiasco, or anything else, to whom do people report? Who is in charge? How does your team identify that leader?

????One is none and two is one

????Over 500,000 spectators attend New England's largest sporting event every year, and Boston is more than ready for it. Various organizations coordinate exercises in advance, including the nearby trauma centers and three children's hospitals, all within a 2.5-mile radius of the finish line.

????But other disasters don't occur in such an environment. For recent examples, look no further than the West Fertilizer Plant facility explosion on April 17 in West Texas, the tornado in Moore, Okla. on May 20 or the Asiana Airlines flight crash at San Francisco International Airport on July 6.

????Hospitals train for these events -- rigorously and frequently. You must plan for Murphy's Law, the idea that what can go wrong will. Your disaster may strike when your CEO is out of state, or in the middle of the night, and a middle manager must step up to take charge based on minimal information. Everyone must be replaceable, and collaboration is essential. Alone, one person can do little, but two people acting together are powerful.

????Communicate; then communicate again

????In hospitals across the city on day one, there was a great deal of uncertainty, and it continued for days. Would there be more explosions? More patients? What was the status of the overall response? Was it working?

????During multiple debriefs, communication offered a consistent opportunity for improvement. Clinicians rely on accurate and timely information to optimize patient care, but disasters wreak havoc on our usual process of collecting and transferring information. Do you have predetermined communication plans for such a scenario? And is there a backup plan, and a backup for that backup?
