Abstract

The objective of this article is to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the challenges and opportunities for leadership. In conclusion, organizations need to apply measures to demonstrate a positive attitude of protection and care towards their employees, to adapt to new work schedules, and to build effective team relationships despite challenges. During this critical period, the leader should select the style of leadership that best suits the characteristics of this health situation, the subordinate, and the requirements of the job, so that, when necessary, he can take concrete measures to harmonize them with the tasks. At the same time, the leader must train and inspire, by his example, all subordinates by setting challenging goals, seeking improvement, emphasizing excellence in performance, and showing confidence that subordinates will work to high-quality standards. Also, we note that men leaders have superior competencies to females as leaders, especially in information technology skills. Leadership can be created by leaders with high skills (cognitive, functional, and social competencies) who can overcome challenges and take advantage of new opportunities to build competitive advantage strategies within the organization and to adopt change.
