Abstract Organizations can deal with emergencies, even those related to the covid-19 pandemic if led by creative leaders, which is a prerequisite for the professional affirmation and development of everyone in the organization. The author emphasizes the importance of the work of Heifetz, Linsky and Grashow who, fully referring to the principles of Darwin’s evolutionary biology, recalls the importance of “adaptive leadership”, characterized by the ability to change ways of thinking and acting.References
