Writing About Crisis Leadership – Eric McNulty

March 14, 2021 • Mike Barlow • Season 1 • Episode 12

Eric J. McNulty is a writer, speaker, and educator who specializes in crisis leadership. Eric is the associate director of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative, a joint program of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. He is also an Instructor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Eric is a co-author of “You’re It,” a non-fiction book about leadership in times of crisis and transformation. The book offers uniquely detailed accounts of crises and disasters such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Boston Marathon bombings and Superstorm Sandy.

Eric is also founder and chief provocateur of the Elephant Wisdom Project, an organization dedicated to raising funds for elephant conservation. I began our conversation by asking Eric to tell us about the Elephant Wisdom Project and how it came about.

It’s always a pleasure talking with Eric because you never know where the conversation will go. If you’re interested in learning more about Eric and his projects, please visit his website, www.ericmcnulty.com
