"In exploring the understudied area of post-crisis leadership, this book broaches significant questions about what and how leaders can perform leadership but also charts hopeful paths for reinvention, other-centeredness, and meaning-making. Rather than generic best practices, Post-Crisis Leadership offers questions to enhance proactive and systematic analyses and to facilitate learning and dialogue in the aftermath and in anticipation of crises. A thoroughly useful and engaging read for all organizational members!"— Patrice M. Buzzanell, distinguished university professor, department of communication, University of South Florida
