Abstract

Leadership is a fundamental element for business development, serving as a guide, motivator, and example of the organizational commitment necessary for the consolidation of any economic entity. In this context, the question arises about what elements a leader develops to maintain resilience in the face of business adversities, such as health crises (pandemics), global economic fluctuations, extreme weather events, and changes in consumer preferences, needs, and desires. This research analyzes the external and internal factors that characterize resilient leadership in a textile company located in Villaflores, Chiapas, Mexico. A qualitative, cross-sectional case study methodological design is used, utilizing semi-structured interviews and observation guides as data collection techniques. The results demonstrate the presence of resilient leadership through the development of key factors such as effective conflict resolution, the establishment of fluid communication channels with employees, and the capacity for innovation in diverse situations. This analysis proposes the balanced development of competencies that allow leaders to benefit both their collaborators and strengthen organizational consolidation.
