Great leadership during crisis
Leaders are more able to persuade, convince, motivate, inspire, and sensibly use power to affect others in a positive way. Generally speaking, leadership is not the kind of authority that comes from leveraging title, position, or regulations.

DECISIVENESS
During a crisis, even a wrong decision that promotes action is better than doing nothing. Good decision-making means gathering incomplete information from others, accepting that there are risks involved, listening to gut feelings, and making the decision because it needs to be made.
