Assignment 2: LASA 1—Crisis
Leadership or Risk Management Report
Organizations are susceptible to an array of crises. There are different
types of threats with no “one way” to manage them. This reality presents
multiple business challenges to those in leadership positions. Each manager is
responsible for managing risks within their own sphere of operations and area
of responsibility. To this end, one must understand that crisis leadership is a
process. For this assignment, you are required to identify a business crisis
issue that interests you and develop a report.
