Organisational change is inevitable due to the interdependent nature of the organisation and its environments. It is thus expected that organisations change due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Organisational managers and leaders are constantly expected to change and adapt their approaches and styles of leadership to accommodate change. Especially in circumstances such as these, leaders are expected to follow transformational approaches to leadership where they lead by personal example and have rhetorical capability for establishing a vision (Shockley-Zalabak 2015). Leaders are now, more than even, required to serve, and to be authentic, ethical, and responsible (Botha 2020:353).

Keeping the above in mind, argue for a leadership approach or style change because of the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic in an organisation of your choice. Base your argument on the following:

1. A critical theoretical discussion of the differences between management and leadership.

2. A critical theoretical discussion of at least five leadership approaches, theories, or styles.

3. A brief explanation of the impact of Covid 19 on the managerial and leadership communication in the organisation that you have chosen.

4. A theoretically founded argument for a different leadership approach or style in the organisation that you have chosen. You have to explain why the leadership approach or style has to change; to which approach or style it should change; and why. Also keep in mind that there is usually more than one leadership approach or style evident in an organisation and that these approaches and styles overlap.
