Leadership is put to a test in times of crisis

Crisis tests leadership in any organization, but studies have shown that effective crisis leadership is still a mystery for many. Logical thinking suffers in special situations like emergencies, and practising beforehand increase the survival rate. Could the same logic apply to crisis situation in companies? In crisis the decision-making needs to be fast and decisive, with respect to the values and culture of the organization. Communication in crisis is a key element for success, and the lack of it guarantees failure. A crisis in an organization is the result of ineffective leadership and the paralysis of making decisions.
