Abstract

Intellectual literature evidence has demonstrated the need for organizations of all types to adopt a new vision that aims to have conscious leaders with a variety of skills and competencies capable of adapting and flexibly handling circumstances, emergency situations, and crisis situations, as well as realizing and analyzing situation variables and making the right decisions. Along with the administration's requirement for a high standard of exceptional performance, new ideas and philosophies must be adopted by leaders in order to move beyond the conventional approaches to managing and leading businesses, including those in the health sector. In order to effectively manage and lead crucial situations, such as the Corona Virus (Covid 19) crisis, a leader needs to possess the most powerful leadership skills. The study examines three varieties of these capabilities (intellectual, human, and Interpersonal). To determine their opinions on the most important abilities in handling the Corona virus crisis, the research was conducted on a sample of 332 healthcare professionals in the governorate of Baghdad, dispersed over five different health centers on both regions of Karkh and Rusafa. Participation was optional, and 67% of respondents were female compared to 43% of respondents who were men. The study resulted in a set of findings that offer a comprehensive framework and a broader concept of leadership skills that should be considered when selecting leaders for health organizations in particular.
