Abstract
This article takes as a starting point the theory of leadership traits to analyze the influence of the type of leadership of Colombian companies on their export performance. To achieve this objective, a database of 306 Colombian exporters is used and by means of a biphasic cluster analysis, the different types of leadership are analyzed: democratic, autocratic and liberal. The results identify a cluster of companies with high export performance combining liberal and democratic leadership, while the second cluster consists of companies with low export performance assuming a liberal leadership. We conclude that, in order to achieve higher performance levels, Colombian managers exercise leadership as a balance between freedom and control.
