A randomized study on challenges and opportunities of gender analysis for strategic leadership during crises

Summary/Abstract: Crises represent a common denominator nowadays. Defined as critical moments in the lives of people and institutions that raise threats to regular ways of living and conducting activities, generate a high sense of urgency to act and open a plethora of unknown consequences, crises represent a major stumbling block for strategic leadership. Sensing what happens while events unfold, shaping a coherent response and framing the courses of action into an effective communication strategy during the crisis, managing accountability as a means to end crises, and also demonstrating commitment to learning and reforming in order to be better prepared for future crises are some of the tasks of strategic leadership. All of the above considered, the current study proposes enriching and consolidating the implementation of those tasks by identifying the challenges and opportunities of conducting agender based analysis all throughout the life cycle of crises management based on NATO's Gender Analysis Guide. Its aim is to identify and discuss the challenges and opportunities of employing such an analytical tool for better management of crises by strategic leaders. This qualitative study is based on conventional content analysis of secondary data and identifies the short-term and long-term consequences of Romania’s overarching strategy implemented during the Covid 19 pandemic-19 pandemic on individual groups and society in general.
