In today’s increasingly volatile, uncertain, ambiguous, and disruptive (VUCA-D) environment, leaders will require existing and new leadership competencies and skills to adapt and thrive in the future. This masterclass centres on Crisis Leadership, while integrating essential aspects of Crisis Management and Crisis Communications to form a comprehensive leadership approach during crises. Anchored on the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Crisis Leader Response Process (CLRP), this battle-tested framework has been honed and proven effective through decades of rigorous application.
Illustrated through the case study of SAF’s involvement in COVID-19 pandemic operations, participants will glean valuable insights into the practical application of crisis leadership. It will highlight five key competencies a crisis leader must develop: emotional management, sense-making from diverse information sources, engaging and motivating teams, strategic planning and execution of crisis management tactics, and effective communication with various stakeholders. This masterclass is designed to equip leaders across various sectors with the skills and insights necessary to lead confidently and effectively in crisis situations, ensuring they are well-prepared to manage challenges in today's dynamic and complex environments.
