Abstract: Introduction: This article focuses on the leadership in health systems in crisis and its effect on the quality of life. It essentially covers how good leadership can steer through extraordinary times like now, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and make way for quality care delivery and better population health outcomes in the future. Methods: The study uses a systematic review methodology to collect and analyse literature on leadership and health systems, crisis management and quality of life. This SCOPUS and PUBMED systematic review was based on 50 articles selected for analysis through a rigorous evaluation of relevance and evidence quality. Results: We now know that leadership is the most important factor in navigating crises as well as the responder systems more generally striving to enhance life among the communities they serve. By having a clear vision, pragmatic communication and adaptability, leaders can steer their teams and organizations through volatile periods and come out with better results. Moreover, good leadership is also important for building public trust and confidence during crises, which is important to increase the level of compliance with public health measures. Conclusions: To conclude this paper, we have emphasised the vital impact of leadership on the quality of life within health systems and at all organisational levels, especially during times of crisis. It highlights the importance of leaders having the skills and qualities needed to successfully manage and navigate through extraordinary circumstances and improve overall population health outcomes. Moreover, additional studies are needed to identify the particular leadership attributes, approaches, and styles that best serve us in addressing health system crises and enhancing quality of life.
