Summary:Leadership in the age of digital transformation is facing new challenges. We observed such a case when the global coronavirus pandemic took over our lives. Leaders of Higher Education Institutions were given a unique opportunity to leverage their online presence for managing this crisis.

Our findings show that in this group no universal strategy of communication can be stipulated, however, some patterns are visible in different world regions.
