You're
in the
Right
Place.
If you've ever wondered...
"Would I know what to do?"
...you're exactly who we created this for.
Many managers understand the responsibility.
What they don't have is a roadmap.
If you've ever tried to understand workplace emergency response, you've probably discovered that the information is everywhere. Safety programs teach one part. Emergency management teaches another. Security, crisis management, and business continuity each add another piece.
The challenge isn't that the information doesn't exist.
It's that no one has brought it together for the everyday manager.
That's exactly what the Incident Leader's Field Manual was created to do.
Why We Recommend Starting Here
Built for the Moments No One Expects
Every day, managers are expected to lead teams, solve problems, support employees, and keep operations moving forward. Those are important leadership skills. But during an incident, leaders must make decisions with incomplete information, communicate during uncertainty, and guide others through rapidly changing conditions.
Every Day
Managers are expected to:
Lead teams
Solve problems
Support employees
Manage operations
Drive results
Traditional leadership training is designed for these responsibilities.
During An Incident
Leaders must suddenly:
Assess incomplete information
Make decisions under pressure
Coordinate resources
Communicate during uncertainty
Lead when others are looking for direction
These are incident leadership skills.
These are incident leadership skills.
The Incident Leader's Field Manual was created to help bridge this gap.

It was written for the manager, supervisor, director, or operations leader who suddenly becomes the person everyone looks toward when an unexpected workplace incident changes the day.
If you're responsible for people and operations...
This manual was written for you.

Your Foundation Doesn't End Here
The Incident Leader's Field Manual is where we recommend every manager begin.
Once you've built your foundation, continue learning through the RiskHound Weekly Brief, where each episode walks through a realistic workplace incident and the leadership decisions that follow.
When you're ready to prepare your entire organization, explore the READY Program, tabletop exercises, and workplace emergency coaching.
Because confidence isn't built during an emergency.
It's built long before one ever happens.
Leadership Is Never Tested on a Normal Day.
The best time to prepare isn't during an emergency.
It's before one ever begins.
If you're responsible for leading people, the Incident Leader's Field Manual will help you build the confidence and judgment to lead when normal operations suddenly stop.
