Gaucho Dialogues on Leadership and Management

"Gaucho Dialogues on Leadership and Management" analyzes Latin American militias as organizations, highlighting the elements that best fit people who see themselves as members of groups-a description that fits the vast majority of the world. Among militias, loyalty largely overrides merit and can align a people into highly effective action, a characteristic that business organizations wish to promote.
