Abstract: With the government ordered shutdowns and public health restrictions during the Pandemic, many businesses went through massive changes in an extremely short time to continue operations. These changes appear to have brought about a “new normal” in which the way organizations operate and leaders interact may have changed. Before the Pandemic, shared leadership was a leadership structure that had been consistently linked to positive outcomes such as increased satisfaction and team performance. However, in the “new normal,” with its post-Pandemic attitudes and increased ubiquity of virtual participation, the way teams share leadership responsibilities may not be the same. It is unknown if shared leadership is as popular and beneficial a leadership structure in the new business environment. This dissertation aims to assess the implications of the “new normal” for shared leadership by examining the phenomenon at multiple levels to learn how teams share leadership responsibilities in the post-Pandemic environment.
