The Halo Effect - How First...

William Rands

First impressions are powerful, shaping how we view others and influencing the course of relationships, careers, and countless daily interactions. Within moments of meeting someone, our minds form lasting judgments about their personality, abilities, and intentions. This cognitive phenomenon, known as the Halo Effect, demonstrates how a single positive or negative trait can influence our overall perception of a person or situation, often without us realizing it. 
The roots of the Halo Effect lie in our evolutionary past. Early humans relied on quick assessments to determine whether someone was friend or foe, a survival mechanism critical for navigating uncertain environments. Although we no longer live in those circumstances, this instinct to make rapid judgments persists. A confident handshake, an engaging tone, or even a well-chosen outfit can create an impression that shapes interactions long after the first encounter. 
What makes the Halo Effect so pervasive is its ability to affect areas far beyond its origin. A charismatic leader may be assumed to be more competent simply because they appear confident. A teacher’s initial positive impression of a student can lead to more favorable evaluations throughout the year. Even brands use this effect by associating their products with appealing celebrities or influencers, leading consumers to view the brand itself in a more favorable light.

The Prepared Leader - Emerge...

Lynn Perry Wooten, Erika H. James

In no other time in recent history have leaders in every industry and on every continent grappled with so many changes that have independently and simultaneously undermined their ability to lead. The Prepared Leader encapsulates more than two decades of the authors' research to convey how it has positioned them to navigate through the distinct challenges of today and tomorrow. Their insights have implications for every leader in every industry and every worker at every level. 
 
 
 
In their must-listen, actionable book, James and Wooten provide tools and frameworks for addressing and learning from crises, and they provide insight into what you need to know to become a Prepared Leader, including: the five phases of crisis management and the skills you need for each phase; making the right decisions under pressure and how to avoid common mistakes; and building a crisis leadership team and how to lead one that you've inherited. 
 
 
 
James and Wooten argue that—in addition to people, profit, and the planet—prepared leadership should be the fourth "P" in a company's bottom line. They bring decades of world-renowned research on crisis leadership, diversity and inclusion, management strategy, and positive leadership to the table to help leaders better prepare themselves to lead through crises—and for whatever lies around the corner.
