The increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters have highlighted the need for innovative approaches to the socioeconomic recovery of affected communities. In this context, this study investigates how adaptive leadership, effectuation, and entrepreneurship can strengthen community resilience and drive sustainable reconstruction strategies. To this end, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, following the PRISMA guidelines, analyzing 45 scientific articles published between 2019 and 2024. The results demonstrate that the interaction between these approaches promotes greater flexibility in decision-making, effective resource mobilization, and the generation of innovative solutions in the face of extreme uncertainties. Empirical evidence also points to the growing role of digital technologies, such as big data, artificial intelligence, and social networks, in optimizing crisis management and coordinating emergency responses. As main contributions, the study integrates multiple theoretical perspectives to advance knowledge on adaptive leadership in natural disasters and suggests directions for future research, including empirical studies that assess the application of the practices identified in different contexts. The research implications reinforce the importance of formulating public policies and initiatives that foster resilient entrepreneurship, aiming to transform challenges into opportunities for agile and sustainable socioeconomic reconstruction.
