ABSTRACT
The pandemic caused by Covid-19 spread rapidly throughout the world, bringing as a consequence that, in various economic sectors of many countries, such as Mexico, a variety of practices associated with work where the strategic role of managers is fundamental, will be reconsidered. since through leadership subordinates must be guided to achieve objectives through a positive attitude of protection and care. The objective of this work was to analyze the leadership of managers in medium-sized companies in the health sector, in the context of Covid-19. The approach was quantitative and the Multifactor leadership questionnaire developed by Bass and Avolio (2004) was used, and it was applied to 32 managers. The main results show that younger leaders prefer the transformational and transactional leadership style, highlighting the participation of female managers as they are more likely to establish recurring communication with their subordinates. It is concluded that managers show an optimistic and enthusiastic attitude that allows them to infect their workers and manage to form authentic collaborative work teams. © 2022, Universidad del Zulia.
