Leadership and Decision-Making Issues
What are the issues of leadership? How effective where top-level leaders in making decisions? Why or why not? How did top-level decision-makers evaluate information before and during the crisis? What opportunities were missed? How did individuals at the management and tactical levels make decisions? What consequences were evident as a result of decision behavior of top-level officials and other actors involved?
What ethical or moral dilemmas did decision maker’s at all level face as a result of the crisis? Give examples. What were the implications of these decisions on the fate of individuals, communities and perhaps the global community?
What pre-existing issues within the political-administrative environment existed that contributed or made situations during the crisis worse? Why weren’t these issues addressed? Were policy-makers able to overcome these pre-existing challenges to resolve or contain the crisis?
