Liderazgo postpandemia en América Latina: respondiendo a problemas complejos utilizando el liderazgo adaptativo en contextos organizacionales

Autores/as

Resumen

Este documento examina el enfoque de liderazgo frente a la pandemia en América Latina con base en el enfoque cultural tradicional del liderazgo en esta región. Usando el marco de desafíos propuesto por Grint (2020), se recomienda una respuesta a Covid basada en su categorización como un problema complejo, en lugar de manso o crítico. Usando un marco de liderazgo adaptativo (Heifetz, 1994) y la teoría avanzada del cambio (Quinn, 2000), se explora la transformación de Semco de Ricardo Semler como un ejemplo de un enfoque alternativo al liderazgo para abordar problemas complejos en América Latina.
