¿Es posible que el liderazgo de un ceo transforme una entidad centenaria y la convierta en agente del desarrollo local de una ciudad intermedia en Colombia?

Abstract

The transformation of the Sociedad de Mejoras de Pereira, into an agent of the local development of a Colombian medium size city, after more than three decades in decline, with the leadership of Felipe López, a businessman who successfully served as CEO of companies in various economic sectors and that was the President of the organization for 4 years, allows to evaluate the characteristics of the effective leader and the relationships that he establishes to achieve challenging organizational purposes. The case allows analyzing the factors that made Felipe a leader, starting with his training, his ability to form high performance work teams, his way of building effective relationships with followers and his role as CEO of the multiple organizations in which he won the respect, commitment and support of its stakeholders.
