Synopsis

Top leadership and management of educational institutions and in the industry are often tasked with leading institutions through times of institutional crisis. However, some institutional heads have come through the ranks with training to execute their roles during times of crisis, but often not with enough to assist them in helping their team members to do the same. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the traditional modes of leading crisis management and resolution and preparation is needed for future crises within the context of the global pandemic and beyond.

This book provides supervisory and implementation frames for innovative strategies and activities to effectively empower their supervisees to lead and manage crisis. It gives leaders access to a multi-pronged framework for building middle leaders' crisis response efficacies from a wide range of researchers, practitioners, and theoreticians. This book has a wide reach of multisectoral interests in the field of educational leadership and the business community.
