| description | Organizations globally faced a disruption throughout the pandemic outbreak from December 2020 onwards. Following the outbreak, regulations and measurements to stop the Covid-19 have been imposed on some sectors, while they remained as recommendations in others. The Swedish private sector faced a unique situation due to the contrasting decisions to keep the country without a lockdown took by the Swedish government. As a result, organizations faced both challenges and opportunities trying to deal with this disruption. The study focuses on the importance and guidance of various leadership styles throughout this process, and what type of challenges and opportunities did they face, to bring a foundation that can be used locally or globally in assisting leaders to drive through the pandemic outbreak. This foundation consists of identifying both transactional and transformational leadership with their traits, and how did each leader from both sides, the transactional and transformational leadership, react to the challenges. The study found that transformational leadership was more effective in the studied case to target team motivation and inspiration within good resources, while transactional leadership was more effective in organizational survival in the case of limited resources. In conclusion, there is no one-fits-all style, and leaders must mix both styles depending on the case of each time and disruption, to ensure proper leadership and achieve higher team engagement and performance. |

Organisationer globalt stod inför en störning under hela pandemiutbrottet från och med december 2020 och framåt. Efter utbrottet har bestämmelser och mätningar införts för vissa sektorer, medan det förblev som rekommendationer i andra. Den svenska privata sektorn stod inför en unik situation på grund av de svenska regeringens kontrasterande beslut. Som ett resultat stod organisationer inför utmaningar och möjligheter att försöka hantera denna störning. Studien fokuserar på vikten och vägledningen av olika ledarskapsstilar under hela denna process, och vilken typ av utmaningar och möjligheter de möter, för att få en grund som kan användas lokalt eller globalt för att hjälpa ledare att köra igenom pandemiutbrottet. Denna grund består av både transaktions- och transformationsledarskap med sina egenskaper, och hur reagerade varje ledare från båda sidor på utmaningarna. Resultatet man kom fram till är att transformationsledarskap var mer effektivt i det studerade fallet för att rikta teammotivation och inspiration inom bra resurser, medan transaktionellt ledarskap var mer effektivt för organisationsöverlevnad när det gäller begränsade resurser. Sammanfattningsvis finns det ingen anpassningsbar stil samt att en ledare måste blanda båda stilarna beroende på varje gång och störningar för att säkerställa korrekt ledarskap och uppnå högre teamengagemang och prestanda.
