Leadership in Crisis

Organizations inherently face unpredictable crises that threaten
ongoing activities. It’s up to leadership to help steady the ship and
set sail through the storm and beyond. How leadership responds to
crisis can have major effects on the organization, both positive and
negative. A strong response can make the organization better off
after the smoke clears. A weak response can hobble the organization
for years.

The following material on crises seeks to answer the following
questions:

1) What is a crisis?
2) What is the role of a leader during a crisis?
3) What are the tactical actions a leader can take during a crisis?
4) How can leaders prepare for crisis?

We provide six resources here along with six getAbstract summaries.
