A partir de los Estudios Críticos de Liderazgo, y tomando como base una investigación empírica cualitativa realizada en las organizaciones del movimiento de protesta español 15M, se analizan las percepciones del liderazgo, las tensiones y las prácticas para hacer frente a estos desafíos. Nuestros hallazgos indican que las prácticas de liderazgo en las OMS investigadas son autónomas, reflexivas y basadas en reglas. Al poner el énfasis en la reflexión colectiva y las reglas, se destacan dos aspectos del liderazgo en las OMS que han sido ampliamente ignorados en los discursos. No obstante, resultan ser medios importantes para enfrentar los desafíos del liderazgo autónomo.application/pdfspaUniversidad EAFIThttps://orb.binghamton.edu/gobernar/vol4/iss7/4/https://orb.binghamton.edu/gobernar/vol4/iss7/4/Copyright © 2020 Ruth Simsa, Marion TotterAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Gobernar, Vol. 4, Núm. 7 (2020)The struggle for adequate leadership in social movement organizationsLa lucha por el liderazgo adecuado en las organizaciones de los movimientos sociales: reflexión colectiva y reglas como base para la autonomíainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlearticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpublishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Social movement organizationAutonomous leadershipCivil societySelforganizationSelf-organizationOrganización del movimiento socialLiderazgo autónomoSociedad civilAutoorganizaciónSimsa, RuthTotter, MarionUniversidad de Economía y Empresa de VienaUniversidad de Economía y Empresa de VienaGobernar47163110784/31005oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/310052022-03-23 11:59:32.45metadata.onlyhttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
