There is no such thing as a crisis. Rather than an actual,
corporeal thing, a crisis is a claim asserted from a position of
power and influence, intended to shape the understanding of others.
A constructed crisis by a leader may or may not be legitimate, and,
legitimate or not, the content of a claim alone does not determine
whether people decide to believe it. Rather than viewing crises as
the result of objective events, Spector demonstrates that leaders
impose crises on organizations to strategically assert power and
exert control. Interpreting crisis through a critical lens, this
interdisciplinary book encompasses not just management and
organizational literature, but also sociology, history, cognitive
science, and psychology. The resulting wide-ranging, critical, and
provocative analysis will appeal in particular to students and
academics researching leadership and crisis management.
