Leadership and ethics in the organizational management of law firms

Abstract

Managing organizations as complex units presupposes structural changes in the existing types of management. These progressive processes find in management (coordination, execution, and control of decisions and efforts to fulfill the raison d'être) a bridge to intervene between what is desired to be and what is achieved as performance through progressive effort. To subsist through the desired performance, it is necessary to glimpse in the management the participation of the elements or agents that intervene in the organizational part, that is why it is necessary to explore to conceive a new model of organizational management. Therefore, leadership and ethics present a different alternative, focused on participation and cooperation, in the construction of institutional social relevance. This study makes a theoretical approach to leadership and ethics, as a support for strategic management in law firms, in order to establish the important aspects that affect the performance of this type of organizations.
