Yesterday’s blackout in Portugal and Spain showed how quickly misinformation spreads in a crisis. The first casualty in any crisis is often the truth. Right after the power went out, I received tons of messages claiming Europe was under attack. But a quick check on reliable news sources showed no such thing. It’s crucial to remain calm and verify facts before reacting. Let’s prioritize rational thinking over panic and misinformation in times like these. #crisismanagement #blackouteurope #leadership #fakenews
