According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Area of Science:

  • Social psychology
  • Crisis leadership
  • Public health policy

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic presented an unprecedented global crisis.
  • Effective leadership was essential for societal response and pandemic control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of leadership in managing the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To explore how identity leadership principles can be applied to crisis management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review informed by the identity leadership model (Haslam, Reicher & Platow, 2020).
  • Analysis of leadership successes and failures during the pandemic.
  • Organization of lessons around the 5Rs of identity leadership.

Main Results:

  • Effective leaders fostered a sense of shared identity ('us-ness') to unite and mobilize populations.
  • Leaders who represented shared interests and advanced group identity were more successful.
  • Failures often stemmed from a lack of identity leadership and representation.

Conclusions:

  • Identity leadership, emphasizing shared interests and social identity, is a key resource for effective crisis management.
  • The 5Rs framework (readying, reflecting, representing, realizing, reinforcing) provides actionable policy priorities for leaders.
  • Lessons learned from COVID-19 leadership are applicable to future crises.
