Every crisis has signals. Most of us miss them.
Born in a country that no longer exists, former senior international development practitioner Andrei Muntean has spent nearly three decades navigating crises across more than twenty countries on five continents. He has sat at tables where the question of whether there would be war or not was being decided. He has managed field missions in post-conflict environments and built national institutions from scratch where no laws, no precedents, and no guarantees of success existed.
In Surrounded by Crisis, he introduces Dr. Reason: an original nine-step crisis management model that works for anyone, at any level, before, during, and after any crisis. Built on the neuroscience of decision-making and tested across some of the most volatile environments on the planet, Dr. Reason gives every reader the instrument they need to think clearly under pressure, decide deliberately in uncertainty, and act with integrity when the easiest path would be to panic. This is not a theory. Every principle in these pages was tested before it was written.
The book features a foreword by Larry Wansley, decorated FBI Undercover Pioneer, head of global security for American Airlines, and the man whose screening model led to the creation of the TSA after September 11.
