The term "e-leadership" refers to those who carry out all of their leadership responsibilities and activities via electronic means. Therefore, the context in which each type of leader functions is the primary factor that differentiates the traditional leader from the e-leader. As an illustration, the Covid-19 pandemic was a crucial element that contributed to a shift toward remote working. The application of information technology has not only played a supportive role in the process, but it has also had an effect on the growth of e-leadership. This impact can be observed in the way that members of a team communicate with one another, in the organizational duties that are carried out and in the results that are produced.
