Chapter 3

Presenting Options

A thorough approach for examining assumptions is presented in Stephen D. Brookfield, Developing Critical Thinkers (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1987).

A comprehensive process for situation appraisal, problem analysis, and decision analysis is contained in Charles H. Kepner and Benjamin B. Tregoe, The New Rational Manager (Princeton, NJ: Princeton Research Press, 1981).

I learned the rule of generating three options to assist in making ethical choices from Michael Josephson, the Josephson Institute of Ethics, Marina del Rey, California.

Managing Crises

For a comprehensive review of preparing for crises, refer to Ian L. Mitroff and Thierry C. Pauchant, Transforming the Crisis-Prone Organization (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1992).

When the Leader Is Ill

I drew on a fascinating treatise on the rarely examined subject of illness in leaders by Jerrold M. Post and Robert S. Robins, “The Captive King and His Captive Court: The Psychopolitical Dynamics of the Disabled Leader and His Inner Circle 1,” Political Psychology, 11, no. 2 (June 1990): 331–352.
