| Abstract | PurposeThis study aims to empirically assess entrepreneurial leadership skills' role in Corporate Sustainable Development (CSD) and firm performance (FP).

The motivation for this investigation stems from concerns over micro-firms vulnerabilities and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) lacking proper leadership skills. This study is guided by the resource-based view theory and conducted during the pandemic, offering insights into firms operating under constrained conditions.Design/methodology/approachConfirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM), were used on survey responses from 321 Bahraini firms. This study's data collection occurred under environmental uncertainties due to the pandemic and provides a unique context for understanding CSD and entrepreneurial leadership skills under high business/environmental uncertainty.FindingsThe findings reveal that entrepreneurial leadership skills positively impact CSD and firm performance through creativity, passion and motivation. However, innovativeness negatively affects CSD and FP. Furthermore, CSD positively influences firm performance.Research limitations/implicationsTheoretical and practical implications, plus limitations, are also discussed in this study.Practical implicationsUnderstanding entrepreneurial leadership skills effect on CSD and firm performance in SMEs is important as SEMs are prone to fail in the early years. This study's findings and its implications help guide SME leaders in furthering their entrepreneurial leadership skills to foster CSD and firm performance.Originality/valueThis study contributes to comprehending the crucial role of entrepreneurial skills, during uncertain times of the pandemic, for SMEs' survival.
