necessary to interrupt you in order to push ahead and complete this line of questioning.

Introduction

You have been selected to speak with me today because you have been
identified as someone who has a great deal to share about crisis leadership and
pandemic response strategies. My research project as a whole focus on the possibility
of crafting a crisis management proposal, with particular interest in understanding how
school leaders are engaged in the delivery of education services amid the COVID-19
pandemic. My study does not aim to evaluate your techniques or experiences. Rather, I
am trying to learn more about crisis leadership skills and hopefully learn about school
leader practices that may help design a crisis management plan.
