Leadership Management During the Chernobyl and Fukushima Nuclear Accidents: Failures and Successes

This article aims to analyze the role of leadership in the context of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents. The study begins with the definition of basic concepts such as nuclear energy, nuclear accidents and leadership. It also attempts to examine how leaders behaved in managing disasters and crises in these two major nuclear accidents and their behaviors such as effective communication, decisive action and adaptation to rapidly changing situations during crises. It also attempts to understand the behavioral patterns and effects of different types of leadership on individuals in crisis management. The study also aims to provide insight into the critical role of leadership in managing complex emergencies and preventing similar disasters in the future, while trying to understand which type of leadership is more effective in reducing the impact of disasters, especially in the context of nuclear accidents. The study attempted to synthesize previous studies in these areas using the literature review method. Finally, the research concluded that strong leadership is necessary in ensuring safety and security

This article aims to analyze the role of leadership in the context of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents. The study begins with the definition of basic concepts such as nuclear energy, nuclear accidents and leadership. It also attempts to examine how leaders behaved in managing disasters and crises in these two major nuclear accidents and their behaviors such as effective communication, decisive action and adaptation to rapidly changing situations during crises. It also attempts to understand the behavioral patterns and effects of different types of leadership on individuals in crisis management. The study also aims to provide insight into the critical role of leadership in managing complex emergencies and preventing similar disasters in the future, while trying to understand which type of leadership is more effective in reducing the impact of disasters, especially in the context of nuclear accidents. The study attempted to synthesize previous studies in these areas using the literature review method.
