Leadership in the 21st CenturyConflict/Crisis Management

Managing conflict and crisis preparedness/management is an inevitable part of leadership.


Interest Based Conflict-situational-usually can be solved quickly-involves negotiations-leader acts as mediator


Identity-based Conflict-based on threats to one’s need for dignity, recognition, safety, control, purpose, and efficacy-deep-rooted-long lasting-most difficult to resolve-leader may act as facilitator


Crisis-an unstable or dangerous situation; a crucial stage or turning point in the course of something


Develop a crisis preparedness plan-the human factor-the structural factor-think outside of the box


“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

-John Quincy Adams
