TIMES CHANGE…
By Evan Nierman
Titles change. Companies reorganize. Projects end. But your mission is what stays.
I see this every day in crisis PR.
People who attach themselves to roles, personalities, or status lose direction the moment pressure rises.
Those who attach themselves to a mission stay steady even when the narrative falls apart.
In high-pressure situations the difference is striking:
a.) Leaders who cling to titles look for protection.
b.) Leaders who cling to purpose create solutions.
When a leader centers their compass on a goal instead of ego, the team immediately knows how to respond under pressure.
This shapes reputation from the inside long before the outside world sees it.
If you want stability in difficult moments, start here:
Anchor yourself to values, not positions.
Positions shift. Integrity remains.
Focus on mission, not personalities.
Preferences crack under pressure.
Mission keeps direction.
Build a culture where purpose leads and titles follow.
This ceates a team that holds together even when the silence gets uncomfortable.
In crisis PR, purpose is the most reliable navigation tool.
Reputation begins at the point where you choose to attach yourself.
