Abstract
In this article, Klara Palmberg analyses the leadership style of Anders Tegnell and his team. Drawing from her own and other research, she argues that it consists of three key elements; (1) communicate the direction towards the goal, not actions (2) make assessments based on facts and data and (3) refine actions based on continuous learning. By acknowledging the complexity of the COVID-19 pandemic, leaders can navigate through the storm and be confident in uncertainty.
