Summary: | First and foremost, we would like to extend our gratitude and appreciation to all the
contributors for making possible the publication of this book chapter entitled Leading
Through the COVID-19 Crisis. This book chapter is produced as an effort to address
the importance of leading effectively and how to mobilize human capital through
leadership approaches during volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity
(VUCA) time, especially in the pandemic COVID-19 period. This book chapter
consists of eight chapters contributed by academic staffs and students from various
universities in Malaysia and abroad.
The focus of this book chapter is on employee leadership and management during
the worldwide health crisis that resulted from the COVID-19 virus pandemic. Effective
leadership theory, the implications of COVID-19 on businesses and people, the
assessment of employees’ emotional and behavioral shifts, and strategic methods to
lead employees throughout the pandemic are all explored. Additionally, the book
examines in greater detail the practical approaches that have been proposed by
academics to address the absence of effective employee leadership, both from a
corporate perspective and from the perspective of the employees.
