<p>Leadership is demonstrated by meaningful acts that motivate followers to achieve organisational goals effectively and within predetermined time frames. It should not be seen as solely a formal process or an organised training program. Although everyone agrees that leadership is important, its actual depth and efficacy are most apparent during times of both planned and unplanned disasters. Effective leadership is frequently indicated by organisational growth and future prospects, but a leader&#39;s true strength and character are most evident in challenging situations. Organisations all across the world faced previously unheard-of difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, which led to a drop in productivity and raised grave questions regarding long-term viability. While many others battled to survive and, in some cases, completely left the market, organisations with sufficient financial reserves and backup plans were able to weather the disruption and maintain their competitiveness. At the same time, workers&mdash;especially those at the middle and lower levels&mdash;faced severe hardships, such as unpaid or delayed salaries, longer workdays, pay cuts, and job losses. In light of this, the current study explores how leaders might assist staff members in times of crisis by implementing transformational leadership techniques. Even in trying times, this strategy can maintain employee commitment, protect organisational values, and stop the deterioration of trust. By encouraging motivation and emotional fortitude, transformational leadership is essential to long-term organisational stability and crisis readiness.</p>
