Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create leadership value through the legitimate use of authority, operational accountability and capability, decision making and actions in a time of crisis. It applies to roles with responsibility for risk mitigation, crisis preparedness, crisis response and recovery functions for communities and/or organisations.
A crisis includes varying events of significant disruption having broad effects on relationships among community and/or organisation members. It is characterised by high levels of adversity, ambiguity, uncertainty, opportunity and change. Leaders in a crisis need to independently and collaboratively make sense of uncertain situations, creatively seek solutions and apply judgment and decision making in highly pressurised environments.
Emergency service leaders typically work autonomously, within collegiate environments, that require the ability to develop and build on relationships and/or partnerships for mandated action within informal and formal groups. Emergency service leadership roles are complex requiring the individual to make ethical decisions in variable, evolving and dynamic circumstances.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
