Abstract
This paper aims to identify the effect of adopting wise leadership in enhancing the learning processes of virtual teams. To achieve this, the contemporary literature that supports the relationship between the study variables in the context of the six-capabilities of wise leader and the five-processes of team learning was explored. Studies and research were collected from Scopus and Clarivate databases using a simple query on study variables. Contemporary literature of these studies and research has shown that there is a continuous increase in organizations’ interest in the behaviors of their leaders towards working subordinates with more transparent and positive leadership approaches to support the conditions of global virtual work, especially in the context of the (COVID-19) pandemic and its aftermath. The paper recommends the necessity of adopting wise leadership capabilities as criteria for selecting team leaders in our institutions. In addition, the need to formulate work training programs on wise leadership, its capabilities, and behaviors related to its activation in those institutions to support the work of virtual teams.
