    Managing Uncertainty Podcast – Episode #324 - Why Performative Leadership Destroys Crisis Response

    Bryan Strawser challenges a common but damaging leadership instinct: the urge for executives to take over and micromanage during a crisis. He explains that this kind of performative leadership creates bottlenecks, slows decision-making, and undermines the expertise of the crisis team when speed and clarity matter most. Strawser emphasizes that effective crisis leadership requires nuance—balancing time in the weeds with a strategic, enterprise-wide perspective. Leaders must resist ego-driven behavior, trust their trained teams, and focus on aligning the organization, communicating effectively, and protecting long-term business outcomes. The episode underscores a critical truth: if leaders cannot trust their teams to manage …

    Managing Uncertainty Podcast – Episode #323: The Fog of War

    In Episode #323: The Fog of War, Bryan Strawser explores the reality leaders face in the first moments of a crisis—when information is incomplete, conflicting, or entirely absent. Drawing on his experience during the Boston Marathon manhunt, he emphasizes that waiting for perfect information is a losing strategy; leaders must act decisively based on what they know while clearly acknowledging what they do not. The episode introduces a practical decision-making framework grounded in “known knowns,” “known unknowns,” and the critical risk of “unknown unknowns.” Strawser reinforces that silence is not neutral—it is a decision that creates space for others to …

    Managing Uncertainty Podcast – Episode #322: Six Weeks into 2026

    Six weeks into 2026 is the right moment to pause and assess whether your resilience program is aligned with how your organization is actually operating today. In this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, Bryan Strawser challenges leaders to revalidate their risk landscape, critical process priorities, and crisis readiness before the year accelerates. Early-year course correction is far easier than mid-year crisis recovery. Bryan outlines the key questions every resilience leader should be asking now, from whether your Business Impact Analysis still reflects reality to whether your exercise calendar targets enterprise-level risk. He also explores how cyber threats, geopolitical instability, …

    Managing Uncertainty Podcast – Episode #319: Muscle Memory for the Mission – What IVs and Crisis Exercises have in Common

    In this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, Bryghtpath CEO Bryan Strawser shares lessons from a recent week of paramedic skills training. As he practiced high-stakes procedures like IV insertions and airway management, Bryan was reminded of a fundamental truth: repetition builds muscle memory—and that muscle memory saves lives. This insight directly applies to how we approach crisis management and organizational resilience. Bryan draws a clear connection between clinical skill repetition and the value of regular crisis exercises. Just as paramedics must perform under pressure without hesitation, Crisis Management Teams must respond with clarity and speed when it matters most. …

    Managing Uncertainty Podcast – Episode #318: You Can't Lead What You Don't Understand

    In this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, Bryghtpath CEO Bryan Strawser explores why resilience leaders must have total command of their own programs to maintain credibility and influence. When executives ask pointed questions about recovery time objectives, critical processes, or current risks, hesitation or vague responses can quickly erode trust. You don’t need to recite every line of a continuity plan—but you must understand the strategy, current state, and gaps of your program cold. Bryan outlines what you need to know without reference material, how to build that command over time, and why this level of preparedness is essential …
