• Abstract:

  Leadership is recognized as the characteristic of an individual who motivates, drives and achieves the permanence of an organization, therefore, the analysis of its evolution and contribution to the company is necessary. Under the case method, a family SME in the construction sector is studied with the objective of identifying the leadership practices developed by the founder and identified by the collaborators. The study includes theoretical aspects of leadership and its styles, as well as its reflection on competitiveness, with an illustrative nested case methodological design, since it has more than one unit of analysis. The results indicate that the five dimensions are present in management according to the self-assessment approach of the Leadership Practices Inventory made to the governing body and that it can be considered as the differentiator that has significantly positioned the company in the economic sector in which it participates.
