Abstract

This paper analyzes the literature on leadership and management, from the organizational culture and decision making. This is done to develop an integrating model of organizational leadership to solve wicked problems. Secondary sources are reviewed and analyzed to make a preliminary theoretical proposal that integrates different dimensions. As a result, an integrating leadership model that suggests a systemic relationship between the managerial team composition, organizational culture, relationship with superiors, decision making process and the transformational and transactional leadership styles is proposed. The results show a probable link between leadership effectiveness and the systemic conditions finding, through the methodology used, a relation of theoretical nature, not observed before.
