In the first part of a crisis, there may be a lot of confusion and activity. But if you make it through that part okay, what comes next?<\/p>\n<p>At a certain point after the critical phase, people will come together to re-evaluate the situation. Team work is important. People need to be working together to handle the crisis. If they don&#8217;t, if they disagree and try to go in different directions, it won&#8217;t be good for the company. Unity is absolutely essential. It takes good leadership to establish that unity early on, but it takes good team work to maintain it.<\/p>\n<p>In our last lesson, we heard Mike the production engineer talking with the VP of Communications in Singapore, Monika. She was getting some information from Mike about an accident and creating a communication plan. That was still the critical phase of the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>In this episode, we&#8217;ll hear a teleconference meeting after that critical phase. It&#8217;s time to think about what has happened and re-evaluate the situation. We&#8217;ll hear Mike and Monika, as well as Frank the American boss, Sandy the plant manager, and a lawyer named Simone. Let&#8217;s listen as they try to gain perspective on the crisis and figure out how well they&#8217;ve handled the situation so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.  Why does Mike say \u201csorry\u201d to Simone?<br \/>\n2.  What does Monika want to focus on in the discussion?<br \/>\n3.  What does Sandy think about Simone&#8217;s concerns?<\/p>\n<p>[tp no_translate=&#8221;y&#8221;]<strong>Premium Members: <a
