Abstract
La presente investigación aborda el diseño de un programa de formación en liderazgo y competencias directivas dirigido a empresas familiares garífunas del municipio de Santa Fe, Colón. Estas empresas desempeñan un papel fundamental en la economía local; sin embargo, enfrentan limitaciones en la gestión administrativa, planificación y toma de decisiones, lo que afecta su sostenibilidad. El objetivo principal fue diseñar un programa de capacitación para fortalecer el liderazgo y las competencias directivas de los miembros de las empresas familiares. La metodología empleada fue de enfoque mixto y diseño descriptivo, utilizando encuestas aplicadas a nueve directivos de empresas familiares y entrevistas a autoridades municipales y emprendedores. Los resultados evidencian debilidades en liderazgo aplicado a la gestión, planificación, administración financiera y comercialización, así como una alta aceptación hacia programas de formación prácticos y contextualizados culturalmente. Se concluye que la implementación de un programa de formación en liderazgo y competencias directivas, adaptado al contexto garífuna, puede contribuir al fortalecimiento de la gestión empresarial y al desarrollo económico sostenible de Santa Fe.
This research addresses the design of a training program in leadership and managerial competencies aimed at Garifuna family businesses in the municipality of Santa Fe, Colón. These businesses play a fundamental role in the local economy; however, they face limitations in administrative management, planning, and decision-making, which affect their sustainability. The main objective was to design a training program to strengthen leadership and managerial competencies among members of family businesses. The methodology followed a mixed approach with a descriptive design, using surveys applied to nine family business managers and interviews with municipal authorities and entrepreneurs. The results reveal weaknesses in leadership applied to management, planning, financial administration, and commercialization, as well as a high level of acceptance of practical and culturally contextualized training programs. It is concluded that implementing a leadership and managerial competencies training program adapted to the Garifuna context can contribute to strengthening business management and promoting sustainable economic development in Santa Fe.
