In the context of our increasingly VUCA world and with the
proliferation of modern crises, crisis management has evolved into
a key task area that is no longer critical only to the energy,
aviation, and security sectors and neither is it only the work of
appointed crisis managers. Beyond the traditional acute crises,
there are creeping crises, looming crises and black swan events,
and also crises that have multiple, differentiated and non-linear
trajectories. What then are the structures and capabilities
necessary for organisations and leaders to be prepared to face this
diverse range of modern crisis situations?The book presents several
key competencies that crisis leaders and managers should possess
and develop for effective crisis management. For instance, leaders
would have to possess digital and cross-cultural competence, embody
adaptive authenticity, manage tasks, engage in collective
sensemaking, display transformative and agile leadership, and
manage misinformation. The genesis of the qualities entailed a
literature review, opinion surveys administered to officers who
manage crises in their roles, and interviews with leaders and
incident managers, as well as discussions with subject matter
experts on the topic of Crisis Leadership. This book offers
practitioners a better understanding of essential crisis leadership
qualities and practical recommendations for action and
development.Beyond the crisis leader, the book will also highlight
the importance of the crisis-ready organisation and network. The
interplay between the crisis leader and the broader organisational
and operating systems in shaping effective crisis management will
be discussed, with implications for leaders and organisations in
developing and enhancing the crisis ecosystem so that crises can be
effectively prevented, managed and learned from.
Advances in digital technologies have provided ample positive
impacts to modern society; however, in addition to such benefits,
these innovations have inadvertently created a new venue for
criminal activity to generate. Combating Violent Extremism and
Radicalization in the Digital Era is an essential reference for the
latest research on the utilization of online tools by terrorist
organizations to communicate with and recruit potential extremists
and examines effective countermeasures employed by law enforcement
agencies to defend against such threats. Focusing on perspectives
from the social and behavioral sciences, this book is a critical
source for researchers, analysts, intelligence officers, and policy
makers interested in preventive methods for online terrorist
activities.
