Abstract: Given the economic and social reality that MSMEs are experiencing in the post-pandemic world, it is necessary to have a new style of leaders who can solve new organizational problems, for which a new leadership model was generated that integrates previous theories. Three independent leadership theories were mixed to develop a multidimensional model that could facilitate a better leadership assessment aiming to analyze the most important characteristics that employees seek in a leader. Data from 384 MSMEs employees was collected to analyze 31 combined items from three instruments to assess transformational, authentic, and learning leadership. This data was analyzed for validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes, resulting in a new model that could help researchers to collect reliable data that could be analyzed using the lens of this new model that receives the name of "action leadership". This new multidimensional model will facilitate the development of better working environments in MSMEs, guiding the efforts of their leaders to be able to fulfil the needs of their employees and their expectations about how their leaders solve the challenges.
