| Abstract | Although leadership is vitally important to manage a crisis, it is not rational to attribute the cause of the crisis solely to leadership failure. This paper investigates Three Mile Island accident and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, from the perspective of Mitroff’s crisis management theory. As a result, it has become clear that inadequate preparation and structural problems, coupled with leadership failure, caused both crises. Lessons form both crises are criticizing failures of leaders is important, but recognizing structural problems and fixing them is equally or more important. It is only the process of learning from a crisis that allows leaders to do so. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that an essential part of the leadership is not only to deal with a crisis, but also to learn from a crisis. |
