The COVID‐19 pandemic is the greatest global crisis of our lifetimes, and leadership has been critical to societies’ capacity to deal with it. Here effective leadership has brought people together, provided a clear perspective on what is happening and what response is needed, and mobilized the population to act in the most effective ways to bring the pandemic under control. Informed by a model of identity leadership (Haslam, Reicher & Platow, 2020), this review argues that leaders’ ability to do these things is grounded in their ability to represent and advance the shared interests of group members and to create and embed a sense of shared social identity among them (a sense of “us‐ness”). For leaders, then, this sense of us‐ness is the key resource that they need to marshal in order to harness the support and energy of citizens. The review discusses examples of the successes and failures of different leaders during the pandemic and organizes these around five policy priorities related to the 5Rs of identity leadership: readying, reflecting, representing, realizing, and reinforcing. These priorities and associated lessons are relevant not only to the management of COVID‐19 but to crisis management and leadership more generally.

危机中的身份领导力：从应对 COVID-19 中学习的 5R 框架

COVID-19 大流行是我们一生中最严重的全球危机，领导力对于社会应对危机的能力至关重要。在这里，有效的领导将人们聚集在一起，就正在发生的事情和需要采取的应对措施提供了清晰的视角，并动员人们以最有效的方式采取行动，以控制这一流行病。根据身份领导模型（Haslam、Reicher 和 Platow，2020），本综述认为领导者做这些事情的能力基于他们代表和推进团队成员的共同利益以及创造和嵌入一种意识的能力他们之间共享的社会身份（“我们”的感觉）。对于领导人来说，这种我们的意识是他们需要调动的关键资源，以利用公民的支持和能量。该评论讨论了大流行期间不同领导人的成功和失败的例子，并围绕与身份领导力 5R 相关的五个政策优先事项进行组织：准备、反映、代表、实现和加强。这些优先事项和相关经验教训不仅与 COVID-19 的管理相关，而且与更广泛的危机管理和领导力相关。
