Crisis Leadership: Enhancing Organizational Resilience and Decision Making

It was one of the worst years for disaster declarations in the last three decades. According to a new analysis from the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), this translates to one disaster every four days in the U.S. Our current healthcare systems are not well-structured to address long-term crises such as a pandemic. Transforming them will require a combination of short- and long-term solutions built on system-level resilience and leader effectiveness. The COVID-19 pandemic and recent disasters, such as hurricanes and wildfires, have created an opportunity for organizations to evaluate their leadership development strategies to ensure their organizations are resilient and are able to face future threats with confidence. Executives who may be exceptional leaders under normal operations find themselves far out of their comfort zones in handling the multiplicity of challenges and risks that this crisis has created. Many executives are selected based on operational expertise or individual contributions but may not have had the opportunity to hone leadership skills, particularly for a time of crisis.
