Validación de un modelo de liderazgo conductual aplicado a una empresa de alimentos colombiana

This work "VALIDATION OF A MODEL OF LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR APPLIED TO A COLOMBIAN FOOD COMPANY" is originated from the necessity of the organizations in Colombia to improve their competitiveness to face globalization, through the development of leadership. First of all it was important to make a diagnosis of the level of leadership of the heads and managers of the organization. For this reason, it was necessary to make a revision of the existing bibliography on the leadership subject. In these studies and publications, there is one written by Dr. Enrique Ogliastri wich summarizes the behaviors and ideal values of the leaders in Latin America in 11 key factors. By the application of a survey, associated to those 11 factors in a food company in Colombia, it was possible to make the initial diagnosis of leadership of its leaders in the manufacture area. Finally, the results of the survey agree with the approach of Dr Enrique Ogliastri model and can be applied to other Colombian companies.
