    Muchos trabajos ha estudiado el liderazgo pero poco sobre Latinoamérica. Hemos evaluado el liderazgo de 427 jóvenes de 16 países de América Latina y España participantes del Programa de Liderazgo para la Competitividad Global (GCL) de la Universidad de Georgetown en los años 2007-2019, intentando establecer si hay diferencias significativas con el perfil de otros líderes en Europa y Estados Unidos, así como en términos de sexo y país. Hemos encontrado que son similares a otros líderes a nivel mundial, con una alta homogeniedad en el grupo y sin encontrar diferencias significativas por sexo o país, pero pueden ser caracterizados más como “lideres paternalistas” (Hiller et col. 2019). Los resultados sugieren que hay gran similitud entre líderes, independientemente de su sexo o país de origen. Diferentes países, diferente sexo, similar liderazgo.

    Há muito escrito sobre liderança, mas pouco sobre a América Latina. Avaliamos a liderança de 427 jovens de 16 países da América Latina e Espanha que participam do Programa de Liderança para Competitividade Global (GCL) da Universidade de Georgetown nos anos de 2007 a 2019, tentando estabelecer se há diferenças significativas com o perfil de outros líderes na Europa e nos Estados Unidos, bem como em termos de sexo e país. Descobrimos que eles são semelhantes a outros líderes em todo o mundo, com alta homogeneidade no grupo e sem encontrar diferenças significativas por sexo ou país, mas podem ser caracterizados mais como "líderes paternalistas" (Hiller et col. 2019). Os resultados sugerem que há grande semelhança entre os líderes, independentemente de sexo ou país de origem. Países diferentes, sexo diferente, liderança semelhante.

    Many papers studied leadership but not much about leaders in Latin America. We evaluated 427 students from 16 countries in Latin America and Spain participating in the Global Competitiveness Leadership Program of Georgetown University during 2007-2019 period, trying to find if their leadership profile was different from those in Europe and USA. We found their profiles are very similar, without significant differences by country or sex and with high homogeneity in the group, but they could be more characterized as “paternalistic leaders”(Hiller et. col, 2019) maybe due to country and organizational cultures. The results suggest there is a significant similarity among leaders, regardless of their sex or country of origin. Different countries, different sex, similar leadership.
