Abstract

This case study deals with the head of the scout group leadership. The objectives of this investigation are, first, to understand if the head of the group is a leader and what kind of leadership he practices. Secondly, to know if this leadership is confirmed through elements of the team he leads. Data collection was carried out through a semi-structured interview, which was applied to the leader and the group to obtain information about leadership from the perspective of both. The interviews were carried out online via Zoom due to the pandemic context. As for the results, it was found that the leadership relationship is positive, which shows leadership characteristics that all board members appreciate. Considering the type of organization (scouting), we can conclude that the motivation of the group's members is influenced by values present in the institution, values defended and represented by the leader.
