Local development from the perspective of community leadership

Abstract

This research work submits an analysis of community leadership, in order to know the social perspectives that can arise in organized communities. In this sense, the work was based on qualitative Postpositivism, of an ethnographic type, using the in-depth interview as a technique. The results reveal that local development is subject to the actions of the leaders who participate in the communities and that these actors represent indispensable figures for the growth and improvement of the communities. The leader encourages integration, and motivation and leads to decision-making in favor of the common good. Finally, the conclusions focus on the promotion of leaders with social commitment, who promote local development and who continue the work of those who currently direct and guide social groups for the good of the communities.
