Coronakrisen har sendt mange offentlige ledere på et crash course i at lede på distancen igennem digitale teknologier. Men det er uklart, hvad man præcist skal gøre for at lykkes. Det viser både dansk og international forskning. Ud fra en interviewundersøgelse belyser vi, hvilke muligheder og udfordringer offentlige ledere oplever, når de interagerer med deres medarbejdere digitalt på distancen. På den baggrund udvikler vi en ny konceptualisering af digital distanceledelse. Vi argumenterer for, at tre typer ledelsesadfærd tilsammen kan håndtere de muligheder og udfordringer, lederne oplever: styrkelse af digitale kompetencer samt tilrettelæggelse af rutiner og italesættelse af normer for digital interaktion på distancen.
