Purpose: This article aims to explore the evolving dynamics of teamwork and the emerging leadership characteristics that have been brought about by the shifting landscape of work. It examines how changes in work formats, such as remote and flexible arrangements, have influenced team collaboration and the qualities now crucial for effective leadership in this transformed work environment. By examining these developments, this work tries to provide insights and guidance for both organizations and supervisors to adapt and thrive in this new era of work. Design/methodology/approach: This critical literature review is based on articles focused on the role of leader and manager in the context of teamwork performance, taking into account the recent work form changes, all of the reviewed papers were published between 2017 and 2022. Findings: Today's teams operate differently than those from ten years ago. Newly formed groups should be led by individuals who embody leadership qualities, while also possessing some managerial traits. Leaders, utilizing new ICT tools, can influence every aspect of team management. Modern leadership now requires creativity, inclusivity, global connectivity, collaboration, technical competence, and agility. Additionally, leaders need to be adaptable, emotionally intelligent, and capable of providing moral support, especially in a remote or hybrid work setting. Practical/social implications: The challenges discussed in the reviewed articles suggest that similar issues will arise in most organizations today. Supervisors can use these insights to determine whether their teams need a manager or a leader, based on team conditions. Managers ensure accountability by following established rules, while leaders in-spire and motivate through vision and personal qualities. The choice between a manager and a leader, or a combination of both, depends on the team's specific goals, the nature of the project, and the skills and qualities of the individuals involved. Originality/value: This literature review emphasizes that today’s employees expect supervisors to navigate and act in alignment with contemporary knowledge and technological potentials. Understanding these expectations helps organizations foster better leadership and teamwork in the modern work environment.
