XAVIER, Renata Cristina dos Santos Drummond  and  FARIAS FILHO, José Rodrigues de. Reducing the dichotomy between the prescribed and real leadership models. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.2, pp. 2029-2037. ISSN 1984-6657.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/rpot/2022.2.22067.

Organizational practice indicates the existence of a dichotomy between the prescribed (PLM) and real (RLM) leadership models. The present study investigates and explains this dichotomy. For data collection, a semi-structured interview with experts was used which was based on the Critical Incident Technique (CIT), and applied to 10 professionals to capture the perception of respondents about PLM and RLM. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. Research data were systematically gathered using version 11.0 of the "NVivo^TM" software and the grounded theory approach was applied for the analysis and interpretation of data. Lexical analysis methods were used. The PLM and RLM reported by respondents were compared and analyzed. The results indicate that, for the people interviewed, there is a dichotomy between PLM and RLM. The study contributes to the theoretical advance on the subject and to the improvement of the exercise of leadership in organizations.
