Abstract

Leadership is a phenomenon in Social Sciences that is currently widely studied. Military leadership in the Brazilian Army is structured based on Military Ethics, which guides the attitudes and behaviors of military leaders. On the other hand, competence is related to the transformation of cognitive, psychomotor and affective resources into behaviors, generating results. In this context, this study aimed to analyze which competencies or capabilities are evidenced in theories that study the phenomenon of leadership. To this end, a bibliographic review was conducted, based on seventeen approaches to leadership, in addition to the concepts of their competencies and military ethics. The research revealed which leadership  ompetencies stand out most in the theories studied, with emphasis on the area of interpersonal affective competence, relationship skills, and highlighted the influence of emotional intelligence, indicating that military leaders can become more effective by developing such capabilities.
