Reviews

'This is a 'must read' book for anyone interested in how crises arise, how they need to be understood, and how they can be managed. Taking a multidisciplinary approach and a psychodynamic perspective, Fraher combines scholarly rigour with practical relevance to provide critical insights into processes of organizing, organizational change, and leadership relevant to scholars, practitioner and students alike.' Andrew Brown, University of Bath 'Fraher's book challenges us all to think differently about crisis as a manifestation of change and therefore an everyday concern for both business scholars and practitioner leaders alike.' Layla Branicki, Macquarie Business School 'A wide ranging and up to date critique of traditional approaches to crisis, and a constructive alternative to the latter. It should be on the reading list of all interested in, or faced with, leading in crises.' Keith Grint, University of Warwick
