"Se tem que resolver, pensamos juntos e colocamos em ação": estratégia como prática no desenvolvimento da liderança solidária compartilhada

Abstract

The analytical effort focused on the thesis is the process of developing strategy as a practice, as well as the phenomenon of shared solidarity leadership, in the context of solidarity economy. Thus, this thesis aims to analyze the strategy as a practice and its relationship with shared solidarity leadership developed among the subjects of solidarity economic enterprises associated to a cooperative center, which acts in the field of urban solid waste recycling. The method is guided by the ethnographic perspective, aiming at describing the data collected through 15 semi-structured interviews with the coordinators of the center, 48 field research journals made through participant observation and the documentary corpus analysis of 27 collected documents. The research period was from March 2013 to July 2015. The results point to a complex system of social relations implied by the group’s internal and external conflicts that materialize processes of search for consensuses. These processes take place in the central management space, allowing the strategy as a practice to occur and contributing to the development of shared solidarity leadership, decentralizing the activities and projecting the achievement of the results of the enterprise.
