Do We Need a New Leadership Paradigm Due to Covid-19?
International Journal of Business and Management Research, 2021
Explores whether the changing context of COVID-19 requires new leadership skills in organizations and, perhaps even, a new context-specific leadership theory. Fourteen professional blogs and reports related to leadership skills and practices in response to COVID-19, published in the professional online literature during the height of the pandemic (March 16 - December 20, 2020) were reviewed in terms of suggested new leadership style dimensions and contrasted with the tenets of existing academic leadership theories. The proponents of an emerging leadership style advocate that in dealing with the pandemic, leaders must be able to manage their organizations in turbulent times, lead a distributed workforce of individuals and teams, and become a resilient leader themselves. Synthesis: The analysis suggests the leadership dimensions called for during the pandemic were already present in transformational leadership theories (e.g., authentic, shared feminine, servant and crisis leadership t...

WHAT LEADERSHIP IS EFFECTIVE IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS: A CASE OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The current Covid-19 pandemic has affected all and sundry and revealed the essential responsibilities bestowed upon organisational leaders in steering their establishments forward in spite of the volatile and hostile environmental changes as a result of the pandemic. This essay briefly investigates what leadership is effective in the midst of the current global crisis; the best leadership theory that is fit for the current crisis and also compare effective leadership with non-effective leadership. The essay further examines leadership charachteristics, traits and behaviours that contribute to effective leadership during the pandemic period. In the course of the investigation, what became known is that both transformational and integrative leadership theories were supported by scholars but due to the inclusion of transactional theory into integrative theory, the author of this essay disagrees with transactional leadership style as the best fit and supports transformational theory. After thorough reflection, transformational theory was found to be the best fit for the pandemic situation that the whole world is currently battling. This leadership style encourages collaborative, concurrent, and cooperative efforts from both leaders and their subordinates in order to move the organisation forward during crisis. The theory disregards the old leadership style of top to bottom hierarchial line of authority and motivates subordinates to utilise their expertise; anticipates possible crisis, and gets every member ready for any changes in business environment. The theory utilises leadership traits, self- awreness and leaders’ behaviours.
LEADERSHIP STYLE DURING AND POST COVID19 IN CORPORATE: A STUDY OF HUMANITY APPROACH WITH EMPLOYEES
Granthaalayah Publications and Printers, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world's mind set towards people, systems, food, and society. Nature's ultimate power has always been remarked by its own. The government takes steps to raise public awareness of any problem, but we found very little response from the general public. Consider a drought situation in which an awareness programme is carried out to encourage people to use water sparingly. If a draught situation persists for a long time, ultimately, people respond very well. It concludes that nature always shows its presence. After globalization, the world becomes a single village. Technology and trends affect each other very quickly, and the same happens with problems like COVID-19. It reaches the worlds every part very quickly. It also forces people to change their minds and souls. Human resources are a powerful source for various organizations. Prior to the pandemic, leadership expected high performance from all human resources within limited resources. Effective leaders are those, who lead their followers by example Sharma and Nair (2020) In many cases, the human aspects of the employees were neglected. Leadership is one of the most important topics in the Human sciences Hughes et al. (1993) The words like deadline, work completion, agreement, order, performance, and act are used regularly during work hours. During the pandemic employees, company locations, and leaders were split, and it was very difficult to reconnect everything. Achieving organizational goals in that tough situation was an out of box idea for many companies. Most of them found a way to get out of it. It has been observed that people who have held positions of leadership in an organization change their leadership style for a variety of reasons. The style of leadership used in the pandemic has now been carried out in the different fashion.
LEARNING OF "LEADERSHIP, COMPLEXITY AND CHANGE" LESSIONS EXPERIENCING AMIDST COVID -19 PANDEMIC

COVID-19, a new coronavirus and the sickness it produces, is one of the world's most unanticipated public health problems in recent times. Leaders worldwide have reacted by shifting their corporate operations online/offline. The choice to modify an organization's operational model has evolved due to leadership and increased agility, innovation, and cooperation. This essay focuses on three recommended practices for handling unforeseen adaptive problems, such as the coronavirus epidemic. First, emotional intelligence and stability should prioritize others' interests over their own via servant leadership that stresses empowerment, engagement, and cooperation. Second, executives would delegate leadership responsibilities to a network of teams spread around the organization to improve the efficiency of crisis management options. Finally, leaders will openly and frequently communicate with all stakeholders using several communication methods. The 'allostatic' adaptable leader will rise in the future, with the ability to learn and grow in crises to better respond to future challenges.

Leadership during Covid Crisis-Part 1
Leadership is a positive and key force as Leaders create better organizations, better communities, and a better world. Leadership is required for many reasons and is a never-ending journey. A good leader thinks rationally and focusses on what is to be done. They have the big picture as well as focus on the details to understand the causes and find a solution to the problem. Great leaders trust the people who work with them by listening actively and attentively to understand the situation. They listen, respond, and not react. They delegate and instil confidence to act independently and decisively. Great leaders will give the respect due to the experts and try to get the best out of them. They cannot be whimsical. They will never ridicule or berate others or speak ill of the previous leaders. Great Leaders will readily admit their mistakes and open for suggestions to improve. They never can be arrogant at any time. People who do not have leadership skills are good at making jibes and blaming others. Leaders must have the ability to visualize the path to see the light at the end of the tunnel before others can see it. They need to be transparent and innovative, ready to learn from early setbacks and consolidate. Leaders need to have fortitude, the mental and emotional strength to face the adversity. Trust involves being trustful and trustworthy. A virtuous leader tends to trust others, and is trustworthy. Leaders must have the ability to inspire, motivate, and foster commitment to a shared purpose Leaders need to embrace complexity as opportunity, value collaboration, and develop a network mind-set. Leaders must take ownership and accountability. The arrival of Covid-19 has turned the world upside down. COVID-19 has put us in the midst of a devasting calamity that has made most people helpless and this is the time we look upon our leaders to deal with the resultant crisis and save us. Good leadership is essential especially at turbulent times like a compass in unknown terrain. But unfortunately there was a collective global leadership failure. The COVID-19 has exposed the dearth of real leaders. COVID-19 has proven that pathogens thrive in disruption and disorder Most of the current global leaders are populist leaders. They may good in running an effective campaign or a giving a stirring speech. Democratic leadership is not necessarily populist and about popularity. Doing what is right is more important. Competence and confidence are not same. Kindness is contagious and it calms the situation and heals faster We need a kind and gentler approach and not a stern and aggressive approach during the pandemic. The current Covid-19 situation requires leaders to identify and address the most critical issues at each point. They are required to think ahead, and retain the sight of the bigger picture to avoid decisions that could have unintended adverse consequences now or in future. The rapidly changing nature of this crisis necessitates agility in thought well as action. As the situation evolves, Leaders must evaluate and recalibrate the way forward continually Most of the male elected leaders seems to have no clue and were not able to lead. They tried the traditional method of controlling and were not transparent or authentic with the result that they were not able to instil any confidence on the people. They failed to show the leadership during the Crisis. Exemplary leaders during this pandemic were compassionate, courageous, databased, decisive, and kind. They engaged in calm, caring, clear, empathetic, honest, science-driven, and transparent communications to the media and public. Leadership has to change from an individualistic to collective process that requires a paradigm shift of leadership spread across networks of people. By democratizing and by innovating we need to develop collective and responsible leadership. Leaders should be willing and ready to change as the situation demands. They also should articulate enough to communicate the vision of the organization and drive everyone towards the attainment of that vision. *************
