The COVID-19 pandemic led to the transfer of the educational system in Poland to the online realm. This had a massive effect on the way in which lessons were taught, as well as on the communication system within the schools themselves. This study sought to understand the shift from offline teaching to online through the perspective of the leadership style of the head of the school, and what that style meant for the school's teachers. In moving to a different delivery method, teachers were required to be creative -- but not all teachers were equally creative or equally adaptable.
