For this episode of GuyGab, I traveled to Washington D.C. to gab with an expert on business crisis communications. Dan Webber is the General Manager of the corporate and advisory services team at the communications firm Edelman. We gab about how traits, such as gender, influence how we respond to crises at work. In addition, we debate what is the best Disney film of all time.

The Benefits of Re-Thinking Masculinity at Work

Dan outlines three benefits we can bring to our teams at work if we cultivate an effective culture at work:

• Growth
• Opportunities
• Joy

The Stages of Grief for Crisis Communications at Work

We also walk through the stages of grief that a leader needs to go through to successfully handle a crisis situation at work.

"The goal is to get to acceptance faster," says Dan.

The Imperative for a "Psychologically Safe" Work Culture

Finally, we lay out the case for cultivating a "psychologically safe" work culture and outline the elements of this type of work culture.
