Description:
Select one of the three scenarios provided and, using the evaluation rubric, describe your approach to managing the crisis and what strategies you might use to help avoid a similar situation in the future.
Detailed Instructions:
Select one of the following scenarios
Viral Tweet: Amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, your client tweeted, to their 500,000+ followers a picture of an anti-mask rally seemingly indicating support
Music Sampling: Your client is an up-and-coming pop sensation who is being sued for sampling someone else’s music without permission
HR Problems: As the HR director for a small opera company, you’ve just been informed that your lead tenor has been engaging in inappropriate relationships with several of the younger members of the company.
Note: in the first two scenarios you are the talent manager, and your client is an individual artist. In the last scenario you are the HR Director (an employee) at the opera company; the “client” would, therefore, be the opera company.
