商品簡介
"This helpful book highlights the simple but important fact that in a time of crisis, effective leadership makes a huge difference for an organization under stress. The authors, James and Wooten, convincingly illustrate what great leadership looks like in difficult times and clearly demonstrate the compounding negative effect of poor leadership. The book is anchored by a solid theoretical framework, yet provides a way forward for practicing managers, and actually provides clarity on how crises can be used to a company's advantage. It is a great primer for all those interested in the practice of leadership." Paul McKinnon, Head of Global Human Resources, Citigroup, Inc.
"This is much more than a book on crisis leadership. It's a handbook on how to lead, regardless of the situation. This book stands out in several ways. It is authoritative. It couples research with practice, and it is chock full of great examples. I seriously doubt that there will be a better book out there than this one." Ronald Riggio, Director, Kravis Institute of Leadership, Claremont McKenna College
"This book brings together in an interesting and accessible way some of the authors' cutting-edge thinking on crisis leadership." David Day, Department of Management and Organization, University of Western Australia Business School
"I don't know of any crisis management book that explicitly and uniquely focus on the leader/leadership aspects. We live in a world where the vulnerability to crises and the breadth of types of crises grow daily. There are only a few books on the topic---and scarcely any that deal with crisis management practically and with grounded academic roots." Christine Pearson, Global School of Management, Thunderbird, Arizona
"This well-researched book is a must read for all those interested in preventing crises, or, at the very least, mitigating them."---Ian Mitroff, Marshall Goldsmith School of Management, Alliant University, CA
