Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio es describir y conceptualizar la noción de liderazgo electrónico y el reto que suponen para los líderes las nuevas formas de relación que implica este tipo de liderazgo. A partir de una revisión bibliográfica, se analiza la complejidad de liderar equipos virtuales a través de distintas formas de interacción, sugiriendo cambios en el ejercicio del liderazgo, no solo para lograr que este sea efectivo, sino también para que las organizaciones aprovechen las ventajas que ofrecen las nuevas tecnologías y eviten quedar relegadas en un mundo cada vez más virtualizado. Finalmente, se discuten las limitaciones y las posibilidades de desarrollo del liderazgo en contextos virtuales, para avanzar en este campo emergente de conocimiento.
