Abstract

i) introduction: the absence of good leadership is directly reflected in the motivation, communication, work environment and performance of the employees of a company, in a negative way; ii) objective: to determine the impact of leadership on the productivity of employees of the company Coltrans Barranquilla during the period of the pandemic; iii) methodology: the approach of this study responds to a quantitative research with descriptive scope. A survey type questionnaire was used with answers in Likert scale, to a sample of 21 participants, whose answers were anonymous; iv) Results: it was identified that the company Coltrans, in spite of having a strong infrastructure and offering labor stability, presents problems with the leadership in each of its areas, therefore, a lack of recognition and strengthening of the work teams was found, leading them to a high level of desertion; v) conclusions: the role of leadership in organizations can be the difference between performance, labor welfare and productivity of the company, especially in times of contingencies such as what was experienced during covid-19.
