leadership, attributes to a single person, are not adequate to respond to prevailing

enterprise, that’s characterized for constant environmental change,

and managing change, all this make necessary transform traditional models

of leadership to liquid, and make this respond to the new complex systemic

logics in organizational area; a new model of leadership is the objective of

this paper. In this task, we will check over leadership traditional models

from final 20 century, and initial proposal of early 21 century, trying to

generate a most functional response to actual organizational reality. The

result is a conceptual leadership model based in changing and mix action,

make possible by different actors and moments, in alternate moments, but

also jointed, in a new social space organizational, transdisciplinary based,

making liquid the inside organization, responding in a better way to liquid,

uncertainly, risked environment. Liquid leadership, is both a proposal

and an answer to complementary requirements of actual organizations.
