               leader
               In  recent  years,  remote  working  has  almost
               become a way of life as well as a new way of
               working.  Working  in  places  other  than  the
               office changes our way of conceiving our role
               and our commitment. The office encloses and
               collects environments, methods and dynamics
               that we know; while online work has opened
               up the possibility for new ways of interpreting
               work.  Remote  work  shows  us  a  new
               professional identity, with new characteristics
               and new balances to seek. In this scenario, the
               figure of the Leader has also faced changes and

               adaptations.
