Abstract
The chapter seeks to provide new and appropriate insights and answers for academic leaders that help them to experience better conditions in times of crisis and unforeseen situations and provide a suitable response to circumstances. Looking to the future, the emergence of an “allostatic leader” with an adaptive capacity to learn and evolve in a crisis, as well as to deal with future stresses and crises, is considered very important. Therefore, first, the concept of allostatic leadership was discussed. Next, the difference between allostatic leadership and adaptive leadership was explained. Then the development of allostatic leaders in crisis and stressful situations has been discussed. Finally, the best allostatic leadership practices are considered for academic leaders to go through crises and unexpected situations. Although these strategies are described in an academic context and in order to face the crises of the new COVID-19 pandemic, they can be equally applied by professionals in other industries facing their own crises.
