Resumo: This article aims to present results of a study designed to investigate major issues and challenges related to the theme of leadership and its development, in the contemporary world, from the perspective of senior executives of large Brazilian companies. With respect to this purpose, its specific objectives may be described as: 1. to investigate both assigned meanings and leadership styles connected to experience and practice of the interviewed executives; 2. to investigate key themes to leadership development in the current context of  businesses and organizations; 3. to identify present-day tendencies, new themes and challenges surrounding leadership. As a theoretical framework, a literature review was conducted to describe the evolution of studies on the subject, especially its major theoretical, methodological and conceptual trends and approaches. In methodological terms, the research underlying the results may be characterized as qualitative in nature and descriptive in character, its primary data being derived from semi-structured, in-depth interviews carried out with thirteen senior executives of large national and international corporations operating in the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais (Brazil). Data were subsequently treated with the help of NVivo 8 software application and the major leadership-related themes and challenges identified were grouped into three key themes: Meanings, Competencies and Styles associated with Leadership in the Contemporary World, Development of Leaderships, Leadership and Enabling Context. The study has also allowed identification of the major competence and leadership style attributes required to respond to the current context of businesses and organizations, according to the interviewees’ viewpoint. Concurrently, new challenges and concerns related to leadership were also disclosed, such as how to deal with new generations – especially the so-called Y-Generation –, who will soon be holding key positions in organizations, following retirement of the baby boomers. In brief, from the standpoint of players involved with leadership in business contexts, the finds enabled the emergence of questions and challenges to be included in new agendas or addressed by new research lines on the subject.

Considerando tal propósito, los objetivos específicos son: 1. Investigar sentidos atribuidos y estilos de liderazgo articulados a la vivencia y práctica de los ejecutivos investigados; 2. Investigar temas clave al desarrollo de liderazgos en el actual contexto de los negocios y de las organizaciones; 3. Identificar tendencias, nuevos temas y desafíos en torno de la temática del liderazgo, en lo contemporáneo. Como referente teórico, cabe resaltar la revisión de literatura involucrando descripción evolutiva de los estudios sobre la temática, con destaque para sus principales corrientes y enfoques teórico-metodológico-conceptuales. En términos metodológicos, la investigación que subsidió los resultados de este estudio se la puede caracterizar como de naturaleza cualitativa y carácter descriptivo, teniendo sus datos primarios derivados de entrevistas semiestructuradas y, en profundidad, realizadas junto a trece altos ejecutivos de grandes corporaciones, nacionales e internacionales, ubicadas en São Paulo y Minas Gerais. Tras el tratamiento de los datos, con el auxilio del software de tratamiento cualitativo NVivo 8, fue posible agrupar los principales temas y desafíos identificados en torno del liderazgo en tres temas clave: Sentidos, Competencias, Estilos y Desafíos asociados al Liderazgo en lo Contemporáneo; Desarrollo de Liderazgos; Liderazgo y Contexto Capacitador. El estudio posibilitó, también, identificar los principales atributos de competencia y estilos de liderazgo requeridos como respuesta al actual contexto de los negocios y organizaciones, según la perspectiva de los ejecutivos entrevistados. Concomitantemente, fue posible constatar nuevos desafíos y preocupaciones con relación a la temática del liderazgo como, por ejemplo, cómo actuar con las nuevas generaciones que pronto deberán asumir posiciones clave en las organizaciones. En resumen, los resultados permiten, desde la perspectiva de los propios actores directamente implicados en la problemática del liderazgo en el contexto empresarial, la emergencia de cuestiones y desafíos a ser contemplados en nuevas agendas de desarrollo y líneas de investigación sobre el tema.Neste trabalho são apresentados resultados de levantamento empírico de dados realizado junto a altos executivos de grandes empresas brasileiras, com o intuito de investigar suas percepções quanto às principais questões e desafios em torno da temática da liderança e seu desenvolvimento, na contemporaneidade. Considerando tal propósito, seus objetivos específicos podem ser assim descritos: 1. Investigar sentidos atribuídos e estilos de liderança articulados à vivência e prática dos executivos investigados; 2. Investigar temas-chave ao desenvolvimento de lideranças no atual contexto dos negócios e das organizações; 3. Identificar tendências, novos temas e desafios em torno da temática da liderança, no contemporâneo. Como referencial teórico, cabe salientar revisão de literatura envolvendo descrição evolutiva dos estudos sobre a temática, com destaque para suas principais correntes e abordagens teórico-metodológico-conceituais. Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa que subsidiou os resultados deste estudo pode ser caracterizada como de natureza qualitativa e caráter descritivo, tendo seus dados primários derivados de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e em profundidade realizadas junto a treze altos executivos de grandes corporações, nacionais e internacionais, situadas nos estados de São Paulo e Minas Gerais. Após tratamento dos dados, com o auxílio do software de tratamento qualitativo NVivo 8, foi possível agrupar os principais temas e desafios identificados em torno da liderança em três temas-chave: Sentidos, Competencias, Estilos e Desafios associados à Liderança no Contemporâneo; Desenvolvimento de Lideranças; Liderança e Contexto Capacitante. O estudo possibilitou, também, identificar os principais atributos de competência e estilos de liderança requeridos como resposta ao atual contexto dos negócios e organizações, segundo a perspectiva dos executivos entrevistados. Concomitantemente, foi possível constatar novos desafios e preocupações em relação à temática da liderança como, por exemplo, o como lidar com as novas gerações - em especial a chamada Geração Y - que, em breve, deverão assumir posições chave nas organizações, em decorrência da aposentadoria dos Baby Boomers. Em suma, os achados permitem, a partir da perspectiva dos próprios atores diretamente envolvidos na problemática da liderança no contexto empresarial, a emergência de questões e desafios a serem contemplados em novas agendas de desenvolvimento e linhas de pesquisa sobre o tema.Editora Mackenzie2012-10-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEntrevista em Profundidadeapplication/pdfapplication/mswordapplication/mswordapplication/mswordhttps://editorarevistas.mackenzie.br/index.php/RAM/article/view/2884Revista de Administração Mackenzie; Vol. 13 No. 6 (2012): Thematic Special Edition on People Management and Teaching and Research in ManagementRevista de Administração Mackenzie; Vol. 13 Núm. 6 (2012): Edición Especial Temática en Gestión de Personas y Docencia y Investigación en GestiónRevista de Administração Mackenzie (Mackenzie Management Review); v. 13 n. 6 (2012): Edição Especial Temática sobre Gestão de Pessoas e Ensino e Pesquisa em Administração1678-69711518-6776reponame:RAM.
