From the minefield to the rubble field

The text emphasizes the importance of being prepared for crises, drawing parallels between disaster management, search and rescue missions, and professional challenges. It highlights the need for awareness, preparation, and structured action to navigate through crises successfully, likening it to the training and motivation of search and rescue dogs.

From the minefield to the rubble field

Everyone knows the professional minefield in which we move every day, where every step is a danger and can have consequences. The wrong statement at the right time or the right statement at the wrong time often decide whether the project will be successful or doomed to failure. The debris field after an earthquake is comparable. Every step determines the success of the mission, the safety, and health for humans and dogs. Only those who constantly know where they are and what the currently relevant constraints and pressures are will safely reach their goal and provide informed assistance. Learn from disaster management for your company, how we as a search and rescue dog team prepare for regional and international missions to be able to help within the shortest time possible and save the highest good we have, human lives. Crises are like ketchup in a bottle. You know something is coming, but not when and with what intensity. Therefore, be prepared. ### The Crisis Deployment The last crisis deployment came again at a time when the normal biorhythm would recommend going to bed. But when the alarm sounds at 23:14 at night, fatigue suddenly disappears, and processes necessary for preparing for this specific deployment require full attention and completion of the necessary procedures. A crisis in your company does not necessarily occur between Monday morning at 8 am and Friday noon at 5 pm. Structured, efficient action is the order of the day. Whether you are called into action with a search dog or into a crisis intervention team for a product recall, the result stands and falls with the awareness of the situation and preparation. Let's be clear about what a crisis is and act accordingly. You are the architect of your life, your professional success, your personal success story. Only those among you who are able to recognize a crisis at its inception have the chance to get themselves and their team out of the situation unscathed. Act now and bravely take risks because everything is better than just waiting it out. Learn how to prepare for emergencies so that you can act effectively, clearly, and structured! ### The Dog For the dog, all of this is just a "game." He seeks his confirmation in the form of a Vienna sausage or toy, which he associates with a person's scent to receive this confirmation. For this, he goes far beyond his performance limits. There are actually many parallels to valued and motivated employees, for whom loyalty and motivation are appropriate virtues and who give everything for their company. Provided the reward is appropriate. When children are young and dogs are in their puppy stage, we praise every smallest step of development. Eventually, we adopt the Swabian attitude (Not criticized is praise enough) in German, "Not criticized is praise enough." But is this the right approach to withstand a fundamental crisis with a motivated team and potentially emerge stronger? Certainly not.
