Önskvärt Politiskt Ledarskap under kris

Sammanfattning: What is considered a good political leadership is a highly topical issue. Today we see a variety of political leaders, of which the integrity of the position connected to the right character, in many ways is analysed and questioned. The trend is that we are moving towards a personification of political leaders where personal appearance plays an increasing role. We live with perceptions of how a good political leader should be and how they should act. Especially when a crisis arises, citizen’s demands for political leaders, and crisis management has become an increasingly significant aspect of political leadership. Meanwhile, what is considered good and desirable political leadership is very much a question of values. This paper makes an attempt to try to distinguish what is good and desirable political leadership during a political crisis.
