Leading through crisis is as much about values as it is about action, write Janet N Spriggs (Forsyth Technical Community College) and Paula Dibley (FTCC) for Inside Higher Ed. The authors outline 10 key strategies for responding to challenging leadership moments, such as confronting problems directly, staying focused on long-term crisis recovery, and protecting both team cohesion and institutional mission. True leadership, they argue, involves knowing when to act, when to pause, and how to support others without losing sight of your own well-being. “Crisis leadership is both a test and a teacher,” they write, “the lessons it imparts— about resilience, humility and strategic focus—are hard-earned but invaluable.”
