Post COVID-19: Towards Human Leadership and new work modalities

Abstract

Abstract: Covid-19 took us by surprise, sending us home to do home office; it forced companies, with no option to reply, to adapt and take action on a vital issue for the existence of life on our planet: To transform themselves into human and conscious companies. Emerging as a consequence, the need for a new type of leadership; so, companies are now at the centre of a paradigm shift that leaves them very vulnerable. If they focus only on facing the challenges, running the risk of not seeing the great opportunities -that the situation due to Covid-19 has revealed - that they will allow them to evolve and innovate from the management of human talent, developing innovative work methods that could substantially increase their productivity. Businesses are facing great challenges to survive, some are emerging victorious, but a large number of them have not been able to adapt and respond quickly enough. The key factors that are making the difference between a company that is getting ahead and another that is not, are its leaders. They are the ones that will determine the survival, growth or extinction of companies in the immediate future. This business context in which leaders play a starring role, opens up a range of work modalities.
