Crisis management prepares the individual to face unexpected development and adverse conditions in the organisation with courage and determination.

Crisis management is the process by which an organisation deals with a disruptive and unexpected event that threatens to harm the organisation or its stake holders. Due to the unpredictability of global events, many modern organisations attempt to identify potential crises before they occur, in order to sketch out plans to deal with them.

When and if a crisis occurs, the organisation must be able to drastically change course in order to survive. Three elements which are most common to a crisis are – a threat to the organisation, the element of surprise and a short decision-making time. Every organisation is vulnerable to crises. Effective crisis management has the potential to  greatly reduce the amount of damage that the organisation can undergo owing to the crisis. The following steps can help an organisation limit potential damage in crisis.
