The objective of this study is to analyze the aspects that constitute leadership in order to determine its impact on the administrative management of health institutions in times of COVID-19. This research has a qualitative-descriptive approach and is of a documentary type since for its development the search for information was carried out in scientific databases. A total of 50 publications were analyzed, which were those that met the selection criteria established for this study. The main results established that, in times of pandemic, the leadership of many managers allowed health institutions to successfully face the difficult scenarios that arose; It was also determined that leadership is currently a fundamental pillar to successfully organize, direct and manage the resources and personnel of health organizations. Finally, the conclusion establishes that currently health institutions need to be led by leaders, with the ability to efficiently manage the limited resources of these institutions and thus be able to provide quality care to the population.
