REAL (Revista de Estudios Avanzados de Liderazgo), translated as the Journal of Advanced Study of Leadership, is an international, academic refereed publication dedicated to the dissemination of theory, research, application and progress in the field of leadership studies. REAL seeks contributions written in Castilian (Spanish) on the dynamics of leadership in various organizations such as nonprofit organizations, business and industry, government and public administration, labor, community, religious organizations, public opinion leaders, military and security forces, etc.

Volume 1, Number 1 | 2012

Whenever I visit a bookstore in a Latin American country, I find that most of the serious, academic books on leadership are simply translations of books written by American authors; very few are written by Latin American authors. Furthermore, little has been written about leadership in the Latino culture. To fill this void, REAL is intended to be an avenue by which those who study leadership can share their work.

Published in Spanish, REAL is an peer-reviewed academic journal that seeks to position itself among tier-one journals on issues related to leadership. Our first volume will focus on leadership and entrepreneurship, which are certainly crucial in the development of organizations and global societies. Therefore, I invite the submission of unpublished contributions to REAL to reach Hispanics around the world.
