There is no situation where leadership is more important than during a crisis, and yet crisis leadership is a relatively underdeveloped field. This article explores what we know and what remains unknown about crisis leadership. We begin with an overview of what crises are, including different types and key dynamics of crises. We then review four leadership theories that offer insights into crisis leadership before elucidating five key competencies for crisis leadership. Three distinct avenues for future research are proposed, including exploring the distinctions and intersections of crisis leadership and crisis management, the cross-national and intercultural implications for leading through crises, and the role of ethics in leading well through crisis. Crises are increasingly frequent and complex, warranting a concerted effort to research, teach, and develop good crisis leadership.

危机领导

在任何情况下，领导力都比危机期间更重要，但危机领导力是一个相对欠发达的领域。本文探讨了我们对危机领导力的了解和未知。我们首先概述什么是危机，包括危机的不同类型和关键动态。然后，我们回顾了四种领导力理论，这些理论提供了对危机领导力的见解，然后阐明了危机领导力的五项关键能力。提出了未来研究的三个不同途径，包括探索危机领导和危机管理的区别和交叉点、危机领导的跨国和跨文化影响，以及道德在危机领导中的作用。危机变得越来越频繁和复杂，需要共同努力研究、教学和培养良好的危机领导能力。
