The Covid-19 pandemic has changed working life in many welfare sectors. An ongoing qualitative study on distributive leadership in Swedish eldercare, highlights the premises of care management during the pandemic. In the study, distributive leadership is understood in the transition from physical workplaces to digital spaces, which shows the importance of co-work, co-responsibility and the interaction between leaders and employees. The concept of temporality is vital for understanding the transition and in this case the pandemic sheds light on digital spaces and temporality. The material collection involves several organizational levels within the care management and both individual interviews and participant observations are conducted. Preliminary findings show benefits and challenges of distributive leadership in digital spaces. While the leadership on the one hand becomes clearer, there are on the other hand limitations in e.g. conflict prevention. In addition, the study contributes to methodological knowledge on conducting digital observations.
