Shaken to the Core: Change and Opportunity in Crisis.
Wilson, Blenda J.
Educational Record, v77 n2-3 p70-72 Spr-Sum 1996
The president of California State University, Northridge, at the time of the 1994 earthquake reflects on the decisions she made following the disaster, concluding that leadership in such a crisis is dependent on an individual's value system and that leadership is seen in performance, not position. Specific examples are discussed, including resumption of class schedules and organizational communication. (MSE)
