Context- "sensemaking" is a significant component. According to Crayne and Medeiros (2021), leaders need to win the 'confidence' of stakeholders who have been through the crisis, and this depends on the 'pathways' that the leaders choose to take.

They provide three sensemaking-driven pathways, which are charismatic leadership, ideological leadership, and pragmatic leadership respectively. They claim that because each of the pathways backed by these leaders has a unique 'view' of the problem, this will in turn impact how both the leaders and other stakeholders respond to the crisis. This argument is based on the fact that each of the pathways has a different 'view' of the situation.

Question-Do you agree that "the sensemaking method a leader adopts in tackling one challenge will be basically similar to how he or she addresses another"? If so, please explain.
