Covid-19 shocked the entire world and was considered one of the biggest crises of the century. It has left a great impact on all areas. Leadership has faced this crisis with all its implications and flaws, and many major challenges have occurred which changed the course of the process with regards to reducing the negative results of Covid-19 pandemic, and many live experiences were clear examples around the world. In fact, many lessons were learned, and a new vision to quickly deal with emergency events after the Covid-19 pandemic. The new Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has emerged as an unprecedented global humanitarian crisis. In the light of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, rapid and high-impact decisions are required in a limited information environment. Leaders must manage these elements, learn new lessons along the way, and help develop strategies for solving various novel problems to keep their organization running. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare leadership competencies are core competencies for leadership practices in response to a global health crisis. The influence of the leader and his decisions during this epidemic, the importance of managing the team, and the shortages and failures he faced during this epidemic, all have developed the role of the leader during these difficult times when the leader has increased responsibilities towards the entire workforce, a duty to prepare a system for improving health care, and an obligation to enhance the skills and behaviors needed to help the leader face this crisis in the future, especially since this crisis actually deals with an essential part of human life, which is people’s health and sustainability generating power. Without it, the world is lost. It was an amazing transformation in many moments of change in which the crisis is an essential part. In a world that is fast-moving and always open to changes in all areas including social, economic, political and health issues, anything can happen at any moment and suddenly. Leaders have faced problems of scale that are spreading to a large number of people in an environment that lacks clear information. However, leaders had no choice but to apply the saying, "When the crisis is there, the real mission of a leader begins." This research aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on challenges and opportunities for leadership in the healthcare sector, in addition to analyzing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the healthcare leadership competencies. Leadership capabilities are essential competencies for leading practices in response to a global health crisis. The influence of a leader and his decision-making during these crises, the importance of his management, the shortage, changes and improvement of leadership in healthcare, lessons learned and the vision of leadership during this pandemic are illustrated. **Statement** **Dear scholars, Dr. Allison Qiu is a director at Journal of American Academic Research, USA (JAAR publishing center): www.american-journals.com **She is also the administrator for the Academia account at JAAR publishing center, so she is not one of the authors of any listed articles (published at JAAR) at Academia. **Please don't misunderstand it because her name will show in all articles ( published at JAAR publishing center) listed in Academia. ​
