Leader Decision-Making in Addressing a Major Crisis
An emergency is the reality of the present high-speed business world. Fast authoritative change, changing financial conditions, issues of faculty, sudden innovative changes, and political impacts cause flimsiness in the present business world. This shakiness shows up out of state control as monetary disturbances that outcome in an emergency. Emergency influencing nations and any remaining nations in the world likewise impact cleared individuals as well as others who worry about losing their positions. This form of financial vulnerability attracts interest to partnerships, and the climate is likewise one of the elements that influence emergencies. In case an emergency is not managed or overseen appropriately, it will come to fruition and make a chain emergency. Due to the expanding mayhem, change from dictator administration through collaboration and participative administration attitude has been noticed. Trade has been increasingly getting confounded and complex (Iordanoglou, 2018). These progressions have changed customary emergency leaders to a pioneer model that makes situation investigation and work done co-coordinately with a group by social occasion bunches of various perspectives to make ideal arrangements. Administration and emergency ideas are talked about together all together that execution of initiative in an emergency can be perceived.
Managers who assume power at a problematic time, such as in the case of the current pandemic, are required to take systematic decisions that may pose a problem or advantage to their organization’s processes, workforce, and external stakeholders in general. Such leaders are expected to make their decision as soon as the possible threat has been identified. Crisis management has further been defined as the internal supervision or link that may pose risks to the main operations of an organization and its stakeholders.

Research indicates that effective leaders are not reflected by their personality but rather by the relationship they create among their followers. Individual characteristics, in this case, make him or her a leader but can also help questions as to how such a leader tackle crisis. Arguably, assignment to a powerful position does not necessarily define a leader. In addition, a leader’s ability to climb the power rank, manage and lead successfully lead followers through different situations helps in the making of a leader (Obrenovic, Du, Godinic, Tsoy, Khan & Jakhongirov, 2018). Notably, a leader cannot be conceptualized as a manager. Whilst management involves continuity and imitation of present operations.
On the contrary, leadership is more inclined toward building continuity, creativity, agility, and harmony among the existing processes.
