Habilidades gerenciales en los emprendimientos que sobreviven : una exploración en catorce líderes antioqueños.

Abstract

This paper collects the self-perception of the managerial skills of fourteen entrepreneurs from Antioquia whose business projects have survived for more than ten years, and contrasts them with the perception of their collaborators. To do this, the qualitative methodology through the application of questionnaires with closed questions was used. The results show a great similarity between both perceptions, which is not only reflected in the trend lines, but also in the appreciation of the managerial skills; likewise, there is a great coincidence in the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of the auto-reports of the leaders. The best self-perceived aspect reported by the collaborators are the skills to motivate and develop the personnel, while the skills in time management and decision making are self-perceived and perceived as those with the greatest possibilities for improving.
