In the face of the new global economic challenges that the whole world is facing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a need to give attention to the crucial role of higher education, which has a significant impact on shaping all the nation’s future as it paves the road for a way out while partaking in rebuilding economic infrastructure and leading the economy to a brighter future. This research paper explains how the theory of effectuation complements the theories of entrepreneurship. It demonstrates how using the appropriate style of entrepreneurial leadership in higher education renders an eminent role in recovery during and post- COVID-19 by creating momentum for innovative change to combat the current economic challenges. The research paper provides a blueprint of the steps required via transformation leadership style to breed adequate culture and lead a healthy professional learning community through adopting and applying the Entrepreneurial University Model.
