Why Crisis Leadership Competencies Matter in the Effective Management of a Cyber Crisis
Effective crisis leadership
is more than winning, losing, or finding
the perfect solution in acute and volatile situations
by Caroline Sapriel
This paper examines whether specific leadership competencies are relevant
in a cyber crisis and what it takes to manage one effectively.
Quoted in Forbes
"According to a 2019 survey conducted by CS&A International and PR News, about 62% of companies had crisis plans though it was uncertain how many updated them on a regular basis. Almost 60% of the middle and senior managers surveyed said they never conducted a crisis exercise or were not sure how often their companies' held exercises."
