Abstract
With the global adoption of hybrid work and workplace transformation, leaders have been challenged with leading a workforce that has a combination of in-person and remote working employees. This study explores how leadership has been transformed for a hybrid workplace. By adopting a qualitative case study of a multinational organisation, the study findings indicate that new modes of leadership emerged alongside the workplace transformation. These include multimodal leadership, inclusive leadership, humanised leadership, and analytics-enabled leadership. At the intersection of these modes is empathetic leadership, a leadership approach that is reconfigured for a hybrid workplace. The study makes a theoretical contribution to the hybrid work and leadership literature, showing how leadership transformed as organisations transitioned from in-person to hybrid work models.
