Reihe: Routledge Studies in Leadership and Leadership Development

We live in uncertain times propelled by complex systems, climate change and the use of technology which possess various threats. At times of crisis, leadership that permits quick reactions to the changing organisational environment becomes necessary. However, there has been limited studies that provide a road map of leading during a crisis. What is required of leaders during a crisis? How can you develop the required leadership expertise during such turbulent periods? What are the challenges leaders will have to combat? Through this book, these questions are answered.

It is no exaggeration therefore to claim that this book opens a new chapter as it seeks to advance discussions about how to lead during crisis. Drawing on empirical and conceptual evidence from the perspective of renowned authors in leadership research, it offers a robust and engaging overview of the field of leadership and leadership development in turbulent and dynamic environments. The chapters in the book support the personal and professional development of aspiring and experienced leaders and managers. The readers will be able to display critical awareness of current developments in both the theory and practice of leadership and leadership development and its importance in modern organisations.
