CRISIS LEADERSHIP: HOW TO LEAD EFFICIENTLY
Abstract
In recent times, the notion of leadership crisis has been increasingly discussed and talked about. There are enough good managers, but there is a lack of leaders, those people who ensure a vision and strategy. As crises are becoming more frequent and complex, there is a concerted need to develop a good crisis leader. This article attempts to provide an overview of the definition of the concept, the main types of crisis and the key competencies a leader must have to manage crises. Vision, action, communication, team empowerment and encouragement, sense making, decision making and facilitating learning are the key competencies for crisis leadership. These competencies are necessary for a good crisis leader, and the article presents suggestions to guide thinking around each of these competencies
