Remote work refers to employees not physically present at their organization's office but still effectively carrying out their tasks. This literature review explores how remote work impacts an organization's leadership style, considering challenges and opportunities. Qualitative analysis of numerous articles sheds light on this topic. Remote work presents advantages like cost savings and reduced environmental impact. It became a "new normal" during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, challenges include distractions from home activities, difficulties in supervising employees, and potential isolation leading to negative psychological effects.
