Leadership in Times of Critical Incidents
Anytime--In this e-course, explore how a changed leadership perspective, using the Full Range Leadership model, can help proactively anticipate a crisis--both the day-to-day variety and a catastrophic event.
Overview
What will you do when crisis strikes? Are different leadership skills needed in times of crisis? How can we proactively “plan” for crisis before it ever occurs?
Apply the model to your current leadership practices by exploring the following questions through scenario-based practice.
- Do you change leadership style only in times of crisis? What are the precipitating factors?
- Do you view crisis situations as only occasional occurrences? Or is your current style “everything is a crisis? How effective are you if everything is a crisis?
- What is your current plan should a catastrophic event occur (e.g., natural disaster, work stoppage)? Is it effective?
- What are your plans for day-to-day crises? How can you measure your leadership effectiveness?
- How do you evaluate your current leadership practices? How do you know how effective you are?
- How can you improve the impact and effectiveness of your leadership and your organization?
In this e-course, you will explore the Full Range Leadership strategy and its applications to planning, responding, and learning from critical incidents, as well the challenges presented by transformational change.
