Chapter Chapter 1 in Healthcare Leadership in Times of Crisis, 2021, pp 1-10 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Managing any organization on a day-to-day basis can present an array of challenges for anyone with leadership responsibilities. However, when faced with a traumatic event or crisis there are two particularly unique challenges that can add layers of difficulty to the task at hand. The first of these is that because the various parts of an organization are linked in some manner, a crisis, by its nature, will likely effect many areas of the organization and its stakeholders in numerous and diverse ways. The second issue, equally challenging, is one of an especially personal nature for an organization’s leadership. In many instances, an individual’s competencies define the capacity to lead a crisis containment effort. Leadership in these instances affects the capacity to manage changing conditions, to affect individual behavior and, the ability to influence the thinking and behavior of others within the wider social network.
