Purpose: This study examined the influence of strategic planning and crisis management style in an organization.Methodology: The approach adopted is theoretical because it was assessed based on extant literature.Findings: The result of the findings revealed that strategic planning enhances management of crisis. Also, any crisis management style applied at a given catastrophe will determine if the destruction will be minor or major disaster. Lastly, organization that employs strategic approach to crisis management style will be pro-active in managing crisis.Recommendation: for any organization to seal through crisis with minimal loss, they should incorporate strategic approach to crisis management and also put in place strategic/crisis management team that will be able to manage crisis within the shortest period of time. Finally, employees should be trained and retained on the positive and negative effect of crisis; they should also be sensitized on how to adapt to changing circumstances that might occur before, during and after crisis.
