Subject: Introduction to Bennie L. Felts

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to introduce myself and share a brief overview of my background and interests.

I have a Ph.D. in Business Organization and Management, specializing in Leadership, from Capella University. I also hold an MBA from Elon University and a BA in Criminal Justice from North Carolina Central University.

Some of my professional experiences include serving as an Associate Professor and the Business Program Coordinator at NCWU. Campus Director and Faculty member at Pfeiffer University’s RTP graduate campus, where I lead strategic development and taught various graduate courses. I founded Felts & Associates Consulting Group LLC, providing consultancy in organizational development, change, and leadership. I have also served as the Deputy Chief of Police in Burlington (NC)), overseeing operations, strategic planning, and HR development.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy engaging in community activities and exploring new leadership methodologies. My favorite pastime is trout fishing in the Smoky Mountains.

I am looking forward to connecting and exploring potential opportunities to collaborate.

Best regards,
Dr. Bennie L. Felts

 

Description

This course will examine the crisis management lifecycle from prevention and preparedness through response, recovery, and mitigation. Students will identify and use the key crisis leadership concepts to address challenges faced by leaders when organizations face any crisis, due to either external factors outside the organization's control or internal control or strategic management failures. Students will develop a complete crisis management plan, including tools and methods to identify potential crises, implement response and mitigation strategies to limit exposure, manage crisis response teams, and create communications to address stakeholder and public relation issues.
