An urgent transformative guide to dealing with disasters from one of today’s foremost thinkers
in crisis management. The future may still be unpredictable but nowadays disasters are not.
We live in a time of constant consistent catastrophe where things more often go wrong than
they go right. So why do we still fumble when disaster hits? Why are we always one step behind?
In The Devil Never Sleeps Juliette Kayyem lays the groundwork for a new approach to dealing
with disasters. Presenting the basic themes of crisis management Kayyem amends the principles
we rely on far too easily. Instead she offers us a new framework to anticipate the devil’s”
inevitable return highlighting the leadership deficiencies we need to overcome and the forward
thinking we need to harness. It’s no longer about preventing a disaster from occurring but
learning how to use the tools at our disposal to minimize the consequences when it does. Filled
with personal anecdotes and real-life examples from natural disasters like the California
wildfires to man-made ones like the Boeing 737 MAX crisis The Devil Never Sleeps is a guide
for governments businesses and individuals alike on how to alter our thinking so that we can
develop effective strategies in the face of perpetual catastrophe.
