Abstract

The chapter reviewed the factors that drove leadership effectiveness in COVID-19 with information from exploratory and empirical studies, popular press, practitioners, management consultants, and trainers. It also reviewed the proposals made by these sources as to what the future of leadership would be. Despite the multiple sources used, there is a general consensus as to the leadership attributes that drove effectiveness in COVID-19. Although both soft and hard skills were listed, there was consensus that soft skills were more needed to drive collaboration and cooperation among organisational participants. Most lists recognised trust and empathy as essential skills in leadership effectiveness in COVID and beyond. COVID-19 was identified as a point of inflexion that led to a change in what constitutes leadership effectiveness in COVID-19 and will drive leadership effectiveness post-COVID. Some authors highlighted a possible difference in leadership effectiveness across industry and gender. However, such a difference was not confirmed across studies.
