CHRISTOPHER LEHANE and MARK FABIANI run a crisis communications firm, Fabiani and Lehane, that has represented global Fortune 500 companies, high profile CEOs, elected officials, celebrities and athletes. They made a name for themselves working for individuals and companies mired in scandal, from Lance Armstrong on the comeback trail to Goldman Sachs in the wake of the financial crisis. Previously, they worked for the Clinton White House where they were called Masters of Disaster by Newsweek magazine for their part in a 'rapid-response' team employed by to respond to the increasing number of investigations of the Clinton Administration. Both authors were previously Deputy Campaign Manager for Al Gore's presidential campaign in 2000 and Special Counsel to the President during the Clinton administration. BILL GUTTENTAG is a two-time Oscar-winning documentary and feature film writer-producer-director. His 2003 Oscar was for the documentary Twin Towers.
"Masters of Disaster is the perfect playbook for how to respond
when you're under enemy fire...a vital and fun read full of
back-room tales for those who want to learn from America's greatest
corporate and political scandals." --The Huffington Post"A how-to
brought to you by the guys who defended Clinton on impeachment."
--The National Journal"The go-to manual...Lehane and Fabiani are
well positioned to distill the lessons of the baseball steroid
scandal, Tiger Woods's infidelities, and Anthony Weiner's obscene
tweets into clearly articulated principles." --starred review,
Publishers Weekly"If you are a public figure, or even a private
citizen who might engender controversy, read this book and put its
authors on your speed dial. These guys are truly the masters not
only of avoiding or minimizing disaster, but of dealing with the
kind of crises faced by ordinary people when they first encounter
the media, the law or the blood sport we call politics." --Alan M.
Dershowitz, author of The Trials of Zion"In a hostile climate where
reputations and markets can be capriciously destroyed in seconds,
the old chestnuts about crisis management don't apply. What's
needed is perspective from the seasoned Masters of Disaster who
understand that damage control is a temperamental art, not grade
school science. A valuable addition to the modern crisis canon."
--Eric Dezenhall, CEO Dezenhall Resources, Ltd. and author of
Damage Control: The Essential Lessons of Crisis Management"Every
board, every manager and now almost every individual now faces the
possibility of being swept up in a firestorm of media and mangled
message. Masters of Disaster provides both sound rules and great
examples of both the positive and negative kind to guide us all
through to the best possible outcomes. The only danger is that you
won't read it in advance. I recommend it to all my board colleagues
and CEO friends." --Howard Stevenson, Sarofim Rock Professor
Emeritus, Harvard Business School"Today crisis is common, and news
of scandal, whether large or small, spreads rapidly. Through
detailed case studies that focus on both those who have
successfully overcome a crisis and those who have failed, Masters
of Disaster offers essential insight into crisis management." --Ted
Leonsis, owner of the Washington Capitols and Washington
Wizards"Managing the world's most famous sports franchise is never
dull, and there are times when I've turned to and found valuable
tactics from this crisis management playbook." --Jeanie Buss,
president, Los Angeles Lakers"Think if you are not in the public
eye, this book does not apply to you? Think again. Disaster will
happen to all of us, when we least expect it. And if you are in the
public eye -- this is mandatory survival reading!" --Guerrino De
