During the COVID-19 pandemic, a pivotal shift was witnessed as leaders in the trucking industry's logistic companies transitioned to work from home. The overarching problem this research addressed was the need to understand the effect of the trucking industry's logistic companies' crisis management policy of remote leadership during the pandemic on their leaders' ability to promote positive social change. Grounded in the conceptual framework of leadership adaptability and crisis management, the primary research question centered on the implications of the work-from-home policy on leadership's positive social change capacities within trucking logistics firms. A qualitative approach integrated in-depth, semistructured interviews with comprehensive website reviews. The data were analyzed using an inductive coding approach, leading to the identification of patterns and emergent themes. Key findings revealed that while some leaders experienced challenges in communication and engagement, many found innovative ways to inspire, engage, and drive positive social change, even in remote settings. A majority emphasized the critical role of adaptability and leveraging digital tools for effective remote leadership. While remote leadership presented hurdles, it also unlocked unique opportunities for promoting societal change. Recommendations based on the study's conclusions include further training for leaders in digital communication tools, creating platforms for leaders to share best practices in remote leadership, and integrating adaptability modules in leadership training programs. By understanding the potential of remote leadership during crises, organizations can be better equipped to drive positive societal transformations, amplifying the global good in the 21st century.
