Abstract: Abstract This article provides leaders with a practical framework to diagnose psychological dynamics that may hinder either the recognition of or effective response to a crisis. Leaders are often overwhelmed by the degree of complexity, ambiguity, and immediate pressure to make decisions in the face of emerging crises, leading to less-than-optimal outcomes. The authors contend that by using the proposed framework, leaders can diagnose the external and internal organizational environment, foresee and prevent several dysfunctions within their team or organization, and proactively prepare themselves to react as effectively as possible in the midst of a crisis.
