Becoming a leader is a complex experience that implies adaptive challenges. This study aimed to understand deeply the psychological experience of becoming a leader. It used the phenomenological methodology and Comprehensive Narratives to apprehend the subjective experiences of seven recently promoted leaders. It was concluded that becoming a leader is an experience full of feelings, often antagonistic and overlapping, ranging from pride and self-realization, to anguish and anxiety. The transition is imbued with an intense emotional charge resulting from dilemmas, uncertainties and implies the search for a personal meaning to their experiences. As for practical implications, it provides inputs for the professional guidance of new leaders and for organizations to rethink their organizational career management strategies.

Palabras clave : professional development; professional aspirations; quality of work life; applied psychology; phenomenology.
