Abstract
This qualitative study engages the narrative method and concerns the interplay of Situational and Transformational Leadership and its influence on successful crisis management. The subjects are two distinguished former World War II Fighter Squadron commanders who participated in lead roles during the invasion of Europe. It includes a review of applicable literature on the theories and a discussion of research that applies to actual crisis situations in a variety of settings. The results demonstrate that Situational and Transformational Leadership have an influence on successful crisis outcomes in terms of both preparation and response. Further, their application is equally appropriate in both historical and contemporary environments. Limitations include the absence of follower input and the military setting.
