Abstract
Leader’s sense making and its relationship with crisis management is a crucial topic these days in the business world. Because of the current scenario of our country, most of the business ventures are struggling their way up on the road towards development while facing unanticipated crisis now and then. Similarly the organizations working within such a paradigm are also juggling their way for survival and growth, and development sector is one of them. Senior officials from 4 leading international NGOs (INGOs) are probed, and discussion sessions divulged the information about possible strategic decisions to be taken for the survival of the organization during crisis situation. The research design is qualitative; the data is collected cross-sectionally via Delphi technique and force field analysis. The leader’s sense making process is visualized by Stella charts. The findings revealed a strong association of the role of leader’s sense making in resolving crisis.
