Which leadership behavior most directly builds psychological safety during a crisis recovery phase?
Answer: Acknowledging uncertainty while communicating clear next steps
Acknowledging uncertainty while providing clear direction reduces anxiety and maintains trust without creating false confidence.
In ISO 22316 (Organizational Resilience), which element is described as the foundation for all other resilience attributes?
Answer: Shared purpose and values
ISO 22316 identifies shared purpose and values as the foundational attribute that aligns behavior during disruption.
A resilient organization uses 'horizon scanning' primarily to:
Answer: Identify emerging threats before they become crises
Horizon scanning is a proactive intelligence practice that detects weak signals of emerging risks before they materialize.
Which of the following best describes 'adaptive capacity' in the context of organizational resilience?
Answer: An organization's ability to adjust strategies and operations in response to change
Adaptive capacity refers to the dynamic ability to reconfigure resources, processes, and strategies when circumstances change.
During the 'absorb' phase of the resilience lifecycle, the primary organizational priority is:
Answer: Containing impact and maintaining minimum viable operations
The absorb phase focuses on impact containment and sustaining critical functions while the full disruption scope is assessed.
A CRP practitioner recommends a 'pre-mortem' exercise before launching a new critical project. What is the primary resilience benefit?
Answer: It identifies potential failure modes before they occur, enabling preventive action
A pre-mortem imagines a future failure and works backward to surface vulnerabilities that can be addressed proactively.
Which metric would most accurately measure leadership effectiveness during an organizational resilience program?
Answer: Employee confidence in leadership's ability to manage disruption (survey-based)
Survey-based confidence measures capture actual cultural trust and perceived leadership competence, which are stronger resilience predictors than policy counts.
