Assignment 2: LASA 1—Crisis
Leadership or Risk Management Report
Organizations are susceptible
to an array of crises. There are different types of threats with no “one way”
to manage them. This reality presents multiple business challenges to those in leadership
positions. Each manager is responsible for managing risks within their own
sphere of operations and area of responsibility. To this end, one must
understand that crisis leadership is a process. For this assignment, you are
required to identify a business crisis issue that interests you and develop a
report.
Directions:
Address the following in your
report:
·
Identify and describe a
business crisis situation and the main leaders involved. It could be one that
you have experienced or have read about. Be sure to include a discussion of
ethical implications.
·
Assess the strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and industry trends (SWOTT) the company
faced while its leaders were managing the crisis.
·
Assume you are a leader;
recommend ways you could ensure that you have a clear view of risks across the
organization in regard to the given scenario.
·
Identify a risk management
process you would employ to mitigate risks in regard to the given scenario
along with a rationale (utilize contemporary and classical leadership theories
in support).
·
Recommend what you would do to
ensure the risk management process is working the way you expect in regard to
the scenario.
·
Describe ways to identify and
manage uncertainties in a complex corporate environment (utilize contemporary
and classical leadership theories to support your argument).
