Abstract: The success of any project is a direct function of project leadership. Projects undertaken in a changing environment require project managers who can adapt their leadership style on demand. This study focuses on the impact of situational leadership in times of crisis, specifically during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology used was the critical incident technique, carried out through interviews with project managers and the analysis of 128 incidents described by respondents. It was found that 78% of the project managers used more than one type of leadership and 82% used the directive type. Based on this research, it was possible to develop a set of rules for effective leadership in troubled situations.
